Starting a different tool as notepad.exe but with useful minimal impact to your system.

The program consists of the starter and some registry entries doing the job.

This tool is based on the sources from Stepho 2005
Additions are done by me to ensure function on all windows systems
including Windows 7 and 10. As well as adding the same to an installer program.

It's a little Notepad++ launcher which allows you to replace notepad.exe completely
by Notepad++. (Without need for removing anything from the windows system.)

Concept:
NppLauncher make use of a debugger feature in Windows the system will call a hooked
process with appended parameters to allow debugging the intended application.
This hook application will be call whenever the correct application was resolved.

Regards, Mattes

  • It's good for notepad++
