It looks like the Tweak Manager v2 checks for existence of this tweak (and maybe the others as well) in the registry by comparing exact strings from the Windows Registry Guide (WRG) site to the strings in the registry. The WRG page for this tweak says to create a key HKCR/*/Shell/Open and Tweak Manager, most likely, checks for existence of this key. But you can name this key as you like, for example, Notepad instead of Open. What is important to create right subkey Command with the right value of “notepad.exe %1”. Because the Tweak Managers, most probably, checks for first key (Open) it misses the applied tweak if it has a different name, for example “Notepad”.

With that tweak, where the value can be anything, Tweak Manager will only check if *it* has applied the tweak before. It is not possible for it to check every possible permutation, therefore if you have made the change manually or using another tool then it may not be detected.

This does not effect other tweaks as they use known values and the current state will always be detected.
