Notepad++

Hello,
I use Notepad++ as my default editor for .html, .php, .css etc files. I have set the pc so that when one of these files is opened then Notepad++ is launched automatically. The only problem is, is that when i double-click one to open it then I get a alert from the thingything that vista has (forgotten it's name, you know, that annoying one wheres it dulls the screen temporarily.) is there any way to stop this and just allow the file to open in Notepad++. This does not happen if i set the files to open by default in another program.

Thanks

Neil

I think you're talking about the UAC in Vista. (User Account Control). Just turn it off.

Start (Now, Windows logo) -- > Click your profile picture (Top right of menu bar) -- > "Turn User Account Control On or Off. Then just uncheck the box and restart the machine.

Thats why i posted on here. I really don;t wish to turn the UAC off. I just want to resolve this problem without turning it off as i feel that is just a hack to work around it.

Tweak UAC might help you out, if you put it in quiet mode.

1. Launch Notepad++
2. Go to Settings > Preferences
3. Click the MISC tab
4. Uncheck the bottom checkbox labeled “Enable Notepad++ auto-updater”
