After installation of Notepad++, I have copied its shortcut into my local Send to... folder (C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo) to be able to quickly open any type of file. In addition, I have also right-clicked this shortcut and selected Pin to Task Bar option from menu.

Finally, I have reduced Notepad++'s toolbar to just a few buttons, using Customize Toolbar plugin.

When I click taskbar's icon (shortcut), everything is fine. Toolbar looks like, it is supposed to be and the Customize Toolbar plugin is loaded. However, when I use Send to... menu, Notepad++ opens up with all the buttons on the toolbar and plugin is not loaded.

What am I missing? I'm using exactly the same shortcut in both cases, only from two different locations (one is from Start Menu, second is from Send to... menu). If this is not a bug, but a feature, is there any workaround for this? How can I force my Notepad++ to always have exactly the same toolbar?

Inspect running Notepad++ in both cases with Process Explorer like this:

Check the Current Directory field. That can give you a clue what's happening.

Workaround:

Instead of Send To, Shift-right-click your file and choose Copy as Path context menu item. In Notepad++, press Ctrl+O (open file), Ctrl+V (paste copied path) and Enter and you are done.
