after installing Notepad++ (latest) , i replaced the Windows XP SP-2's notepad with notepad++ using the instructions given on the download site of notepad++. However now as a result the icon file for .txt file is broken , it shows up as the icon of unknown file in Windows. I tried rebuilding the Icon Catch but it didn't help.
I noticed the System tries to locate the icon is Shell32.dll and since it can't find any match for Notepad++ it simply goes to default icon, i tried to direct it to notepad++ icon but it would revert back to looking in shell32.dll (or some name like that) and the icon appear broken.
can someone tell me how i can fix this issue? thanx

I have the same problem.... came here searching for a solution - it's been this way for several months now but I've just been living with it.
I got mine working; see this thread:
