Hi, because Vista has a different (and imho better) interface for managing file associations I wrote a litte reg-file that integrates Notepad++ into the "Default Programs" menu.
Maybe someone would like that too so I thought I post it here...
It only contains the extensions I use, so if you like it to support something else you have to add it by hand.
Have Fun :)
P.S: make sure the three path entries match your installation

That's a considerate gesture! This should be added to the FAQ. --Joel
