    @bishops-the-game ,

    I’m not sure. The symptoms you are describing make no sense to me. And there’s no way we can give you insight as to where it was installed, if it’s not in c:\program files\notepad++ or c:\program files (x86)\notepad++. Maybe if you deleted the notepad++.exe, the shortcut would show up with an empty target; I cannot remember ever seeing that. But if you deleted or uninstalled Notepad++, then you will have to re-install it.

    I would recommend just downloading the v8.2.1 and installing it fresh.

        With that path, I think that you might have found someone who had bundled Notepad++ as a Windows “app” in the “Windows store”. No official Notepad++ has been released on the Windows Store. If you have previously installed it there, uninstall it, and install Notepad++ from the actual download that I linked you to.

          hi again
          I just downloaded from your link.
          php C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe

          I put that path into filezilla-project.org AND it does not work

          The filezilla-project.org file type association setting in settings says
          not found.
          maybe I need a new FTP editor…?? but I like
          filezilla-project.org
          ??

            I’m beginning to think your Windows might be running in “S” mode, see this Microsoft article.

            You can search for “About your PC” and it will show the Windows version. If it mentions “S” then your OS is locked to ONLY allowing apps from the Microsoft store. As well, only Edge can be the default browser although it will allow for other browsers.

            You can exit the “S” mode, however it’s a one way road. You can never return to “S” mode.

                  @bishops-the-game said in path for notepad++:

                  Edition Windows 10 Home

                  That looks OK. Then you should be able to download Notepad++ from the previous link provided earlier and install it.

                    @bishops-the-game ,

                    Apparently, my reply didn’t post earlier. I don’t know why.

                    You claim you’ve installed Notepad++. If you run Notepad++ normally (not through FileZilla), does it run? If you Right Click on a file from Windows Explorer (not through FileZilla), and choose “Open With” and select Notepad++ (or if you have Open With Notepad++ already in your menu, select that instead), does it open Notepad++ with your file? If so, then the problem you are having is not with Notepad++, but actually with FileZilla.

                    If it’s a problem with FileZilla, then ultimately, a Notepad++ forum is the wrong place to be asking for help, and a FileZilla forum is the right place.

                    That said, the simple thing to try is to change your FileZilla association to be php "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" (including the quotes!). Since I am at home now, rather than at work, I was able to look at my home FileZilla, which is still able to open files with Notepad++. When I look, I don’t have anything in Edit > File editing > Filetype associations. However, I do have Settings > File editing > Use Custom Editor selected, with "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" as the value. Note that I do literally have the quotes there, because there is a space in the path.
                    a0dc79e2-69de-47bf-bfdf-8c054ca4629c-image.png
                    Moreover, if I go back to the filetype associations page, I see
                    f7a484ec-aaee-4c16-b7fa-2e784ac45b5e-image.png
                    And if you look at the bottom, it clearly says, Format: extensions followed by properly quoted commands and arguments : emphasis on properly quoted. Further, the next line is Example: png "c:\program files\viewer\viewer.exe" -open : emphasis on the quotes around the path to the executable.

                    Note that everything after “that said” has nothing to do with Notepad++. Your problem is with FileZilla, not with Notepad++

                      Hi
                      thanks
                      Well I finally got it to work. but yes your filezilla info was not here.
                      But I went into File editing and used custom editor.
                      and deleted php from file extenions.
                      Now when I download view/edit a file it opens in notepad++.exe
                      notepad was a nuisance.
                      thanks again

                        Notepad++ is not the nuisance when you do not have Notepad++ properly installed (or installed at all, since your search didn’t find anything). Notepad++ is not the nuisance when you do not have FileZilla properly configured.

                          Right click on Icon and select “Properties” and then click on “Open File Location”. At that location can <shift><right click> and select “Copy as Path”
