Windows 11 has its new interface for its explorer context menu. It makes the old "Edit with Notepad++" command hardly accessible. This commit improves the accessibility and also fix issue of run as an administrator (Properties set in Compatibility) in the new context menu command.
It fixes also the context menu command issue under ARM64 architecture (fixed only under Windows 11).
The localization of "Edit with Notepad++" is also possible in this commit.
Note that if the command place of "Edit with Notepad++" context menu command is taken by other application ("\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*\shell\pintohome"), the new context menu "Edit with Notepad++" won't be installed. User should install it him/herself.
