It isn't be paranoid, it's just be aware of the risk that you are taking. I work in the IT and I know the risks of such type of applications. Prevent is better than cure, it's not so difficult to create a key logger with a regex for credit card numbers on post the information in some forgotten forum and run it on the system so when the application is closed the key logger continue to run. You're welcome and thank you for making me fix something I didn't even realize I needed fixing. I never thought about why PDN didn't register. at least a wider range of file associations should be available. I guess now I'll look through the requested features and see if file associations and context menus are slated for 4.x of PDN. Just have to hope you dont get hit by a bus. Sort of like leaving the house sometimes. Just someone providing a solution to a problem even with paranoia set to maximum. I also used the human test to see if it popped up anywhere (index and organic searches), what kind of feedback and revision tracking it had etc. I used GFI's scanning suite, Norton Corporate, a couple general malware runs, MS Security Essentials, etc and didn't get a single false positive as well on it. Anymore, with Sourceforge and all the rest of the freeware movement ( this application being in that theme) it's hard to not just scan and run. Glad to hear at least there is "a" solution. I did those same edits and then took a gander at that thread and came to the conclusion that the number of keys they were modifying it was best to just recommend that application. The Open With approach seems to work for what it does, but lacks what I consider to be ideal proximity. I have scanned the "Change default program editor" with Avira and "Microsoft Security Essential", then I scanned it online with and and found nothing, but this means only that perhaps it doesn't contain a known virus or malware.

Simple and easy without having to play registry editing navigation nightmares. tested safe by me and various scanning programs (and I'm not associated with this freeware/donation-ware in any way mind you): Change default program editor **EDIT Heh, one of the applications in that thread actually works pretty quickly and easily. Everything else is just what you want to see when you right click on the first layer. The Open with above is a guarenteed to work solution. Oddly enough on Technet there is a really long thread discussing methods of making these modifications that will give you all the specific edits to try: Technet Social discussion on chaning. Getting the Open with subcontext menu to show PDN is really simple, but requires two layers to navigate to when right cliicking and may require using Shift at times: Modify HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif\OpenWithProgids and add the value Paint.NET.1 Re-asssociating the default edit command is a real quagmire with Vista and Windows 7 especially.
