    Hello, when I associate for example .c and/or .txt extensions with notepad++, their icon goes away and they don't get a new one. They look like files that can not be opened. When I actually double click them, it opens nicely in notepad++ though.

    Please give files associated with notepad++ a nice icon instead of having them show like 'unknown' filetypes. I tried setting the myself in folder options/filetypes of windows settings, but it doesn't work.

    Every other program does this correctly, please make notepad++ do it too :)

    Tnx for a great product.

        I had the same problem. I fixed it by adding a DefaultIcon key with value C:\Program\Notepad++\notepad++.exe,0 in [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}\Old Icon\Notepad++_file] which was empty.

        Now it looks like this [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42042206-2D85-11D3-8CFF-005004838597}\Old Icon\Notepad++_file\DefaultIcon]
        @="C:\\Program\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe,0"

          I hope in a next version of np++ this can be fixed without requiring the user to do weird stuff.
