    When right click>edit with notepad++, vista gives arning that unidentified program wants access. Also, I had to manually set notepad++ as default program to open text and java script files. Otherwise error comes up.

    Looks like needs better integration with vista. I know UAC in vista will ask for permission, but it should not detect it as unidentified program. Also after install, vista warning comes up , program may not be installed correctly. I had to manually click it installed correctly.

    Hope you guys do something for smoother vista user experience other than known UAC warning.

      Hello Jorge Avila,
      Thanks for your tips. It worked nicely. There is no more warning.Could it be done by notepad++ guys by default or some other work around? Not a big deal but something to consider.Thanks.

      Hi,

      There is a way to disable this warning. (this applies for all windows vista versions)

      Basically what is happening is that Notepad++ is launching an additional program when it startup. The program is the notepad++ autoupdater.

      You can disable this going to:

      Settings Menu -> Preferences -> MISC tab -> UNCHECK the "Enable Notepad++ auto-updater"

      Close and open Notepad++ again, it should not give you the warning...

      Regards,

      Jorge Avila
