Just take a notepad file in one of your folders, right click it and go to properties. Change open with from notepad to open with notepad++. Even notepad++'s installer "make default notepad" didn't work. The current version is 5.7. This method didn’t work for me.

The second case is automatically sorted, the first case, I just type notepad++ in the run box instead of notepad.
