bat file opening in MS notepad, now to open in npp?
-
When I right click on a bat file in windows explorer, I see
- open, clicking which runs the file.
- edit, that opens MS notepad.
I want this edit to open file in npp instead.
I tried going through npp menu - settings - file association. bat extenstion was not there, so I went to customize and added bat and registered.
but that removed the right-click edit option altogether, and only “open” is remaining there, clicking which opens the file in npp for editing, but now I can’t run the bat file.
so, please guide how to open bat file in npp instead of in MS notepad.
Thanks.

If you have the
Edit with Notepad++entry applied to all file types, it shows up whether or not the program has an “association” with Notepad++. That’s the safer way to do that.Go see https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/18140/how-to-get-windows-explorer-right-click-menu-open-edit-with-notepad for a very recent discussion started on how to get that entry. (ie, it was the post I answered just before reading yours.)
