How do I replace Notepad in Windows 7? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
Oh, why, of course: Notepad Replacer.
Solution 2:
Use the Notepad2 Modifications installer. It works on 32 bit and 64 bit.
This Notepad++ wiki page also has a step-by-step guide for Windows XP and Windows Vista which also works on Windows 7.
Solution 3:
If you want to make sure you are using Notepad2, go to a file that you would typically use Notepad2 for and right click > properties. Then where it says "opens with", select change and select Notepad2.
