Hello Eluze,

I did my tests when the notepad++ path was added to the program search path.
I had to reboot after I expanded the environment variable PATH in the system
settings.
If you want to enter the full path in (with spaces) in editor.scm, then try
to put the »quotes in the string« just around the full program path, this
would be:
    ("notepad++" . ,(if (eq? PLATFORM 'windows)
      "start *\"*C:\\Program Files
(x86)2.17.17\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe*\"* -n%(line)s -c%(column)s %(file)s"
      "\"C:\\Program Files (x86)2.17.17\\Notepad++\\notepad++\" -n%(line)s
-c%(column)s %(file)s"))

And, just as allready answered by Phil Holmes, both the acrobat reader and
summatraPDF seem to look in the registry at
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\textedit\shell\open\command] to get the associated launch
command. I do not know if the lauch is done directly (i.e. CreateProcess())
or by calling another application like the internet explorer.
The "out of the box" entry after each installation is like this line:
*"C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPondV2.17.17\usr\bin\guile.exe" /-e main/ -s
"C:\Program Files
(x86)\LilyPondV2.17.17\usr\bin\lilypond-invoke-editor/.scm/" "%1"*
where "-e main" forces it to be executed twice, and the script in the
windows installation is initially without the extension .scm.
Therfore I allways correct it after I installed a new relesae to something
like this:
*"C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPondV2.17.17\usr\bin\guile.exe" -s "C:\Program
Files (x86)\LilyPondV2.17.17\usr\bin\lilypond-invoke-editor" "%1"*
