Sonya Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm watching the Beginners web design tutorial video 4.12 that talks about using Notepad++ to open .txt files. I want set Notepad++ as the default editor. I tried to set it by right-clicking on the Shortcut and select Run As Administrator -> Click Settings -> Preferences -> File Associations Highlight Notepad, highlight .TXT Also I tried clicking Control Panels -> Default Programs ->Associate a file. But that didn't work either! Are there setting that need to set when installing Notepad++ to solve this issue?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSW Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 You can right click on a file you want... .TXT I guess. With the right mouse click you should see a menu choice pop up "Open with" and there is a check box to keep the default for the file type. So right click on a file, choose "Open with", make sure the box is checked and use the browse button to find the Notepad++.exe on you machine and choose it. That should make Notepad++ the default editor for that file type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
