      (although he speaks of replacing it with notepad2)

      First: 
      replace the owner on: 
      C:\windows\notepad.exe and C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe 
      (Set owner to your user or to administrator just make sure you can write to it) 

      Then: 
      Replace permissions on both files (make it so that you have "full permissions") 

      Then replace both files with the NPP launcher. 

      I found it on this webpage:

      Exactly. Vista is crap and you should leave it in peace and let it kill itself ASAP ;-)
