      Hi.
      Just updated to v7.4.2 and noticed Notepad++ is not replacing Windows Notepad anymore. I did try to look for it in Preferences, but to no avail. Any hints?
      TIA

        @Guilherme-R-Basilio Solved. Thanks to @CosmicPenguin2 in the forum.

        NPP 64 bits is not recognised by Windows Control Panel and will not accept any file type/extension as default program.
        I installed the 32 bit version and it replaced Windows Notepad OK.
