Some people have problem with installing the npplauncher to replace notepad.exe, since the Windows File Protection, especially myself.... For some unknown, stupid reason, I couldn't overwrite the notepad.exe permanently.... There was no windows file protection dialog asking whether I want to keep the non-original file whatsoever as it normally does.....
So, I went searching the net and stumbled upon a small program which can replace a windows protected file easily.... It's free and quite handy, so I decided to make a small little batch script so that it makes it easier to install...
I'm having trouble getting it from RapidShare. Would you be able to provide another location, or direct me to the free utility you mentioned that can easily replace a system file? Much appreciated.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I haven't tried Notepad-Replacer but have often installed NPPLauncher replacing the files in this order (the reverse of the normal instructions for replacement) with great success:

PS: It will also backup the original NOTEPAD.EXE
PSS: I'm quite new to sourceforge..... So, I used rapidshare to upload the file... Sorry... :p
You better search the N++ forum! Here exist just another litle tool "MS-Notepad-Replacer".
A Notepad++ Replacer with a GUI for replacing MS-Notepad.exe with the N++ Launcher, that temporary disables Windows Protection for MS-Notepad.exe.
Really tricky tool, i´ve tested.

Updated the installer batch file, added uninstaller batch file.....

new link.... i hope this one will work better
I haven't tried Notepad-Replacer but have often installed NPPLauncher replacing the files in this order (the reverse of the normal instructions for replacement) with great success:
1. c:\windows
2. c:\windows\system32
3. c:\windows\system32\dllcache
If you are having trouble getting Notepad-Replacer try reversing the order in which you replace notepad.exe.
Good Luck
