Not a complete replacement but I either start notepad from run menu or auto association to files. The second case is automatically sorted, the first case, I just type notepad++ in the run box instead of notepad.

I’m not sure why but when I replaced the notepad.exe in the given order it did not work. However when I went in the OPPOSITE order it worked fine. Just my 2 cents

Love it! Works like a charm (I didn’t copy to first folder, just the last three as per the readme).

Notepad++ rocks! Thanks.

I use Notepad++ in conjunction with Expresso religiously. Expresso is a regex builder, so if you feel limited at all by the regex or even just search and replace functionality in Notepad++, then I highly recommend Expresso, too. They’re both free, and some of the best tools in my toolbox.

c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 is ‘a location that is unavailable’ on my system. I can access the 3 others but not this, and it didn’t work even tough the ‘readme’ file with the download only states the last 3. Any ideas please?
