Hi guys,

I’m unable to associate txt files to always use NPP since the win10 1607 upgrade for some reason… this has never been a problem in the past.

(right click on the txt file to open with NPP works fine)

I’ve tried re-installing the latest NPP 7.5.1 both in 64 and 32 bit to no avail.

any help is appreciated!

browse to NPP folder and open “notepadd++ application” file that starts the application
nothing happens… just comes back to the explorer
