Replace Notepad with Notepad++ portable as default

mapsonx

I’m currently using the portablesapps version. I just downloaded the official version https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v8.9.3/.

I need advice transferring the settings from portableapps, and then making Notepad++ the OS default.

I there another way to do that besides “Choose default apps by file type”?

Why are you asking the exact same question (worded differently) to the one you asked 3 days ago? That post is here.

It was replied to then with sufficient information for you to work with.

This Topic is closed/locked as a duplicate of your original.

If you have more questions about the answers you received, reply in the original discussion, not here; and ask specific questions about the answer you were given, don’t just re-iterate what you’ve already said.

Update: this is also the same question you asked in June 2025. Apparently, you don’t actually read the replies to questions you already asked. If it’s because you don’t realize you’ve gotten replies, I recommend going to your forum settings (click your avatar/icon in the upper-right in the forum, click settings, then change “When a new reply is posted in a topic you are watching” and/or “When someone mentions you” from None or Notification Only to Notification & Email, so that the forum will email you when you get a reply)
