      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!
