How to make Notepad++ take over from the standard notepad.exe
- by Nick
I could do this easily with TextPad, then I got irritated with Textpad once I'd played with Notepad++.
Now that I've removed Textpad:
I want Notepad++ to take over the right-click Edit option in Explorer, and
I want Notepad++ to come up when I type notepad in the command prompt.
I know that Notepad++ has a shell extension that allows one to do right-click Edit in Notepad++. But my old right-click Edit link remains, and I keep finding myself clicking on it, only to be rewarded with an error.
