I've saved a few things as plain text, but when I go to open the text file, WinXP asks me what application I wish to use to open it. Notepad++ is not on the list, so instead I have to first fire up Notepad++ then click File > Open and navigate to the file. Isn't there a way to just double click the file name and open it with Notepad++, especially since I created the file originally with Notepad++.
I'm using 3.9 if it matters.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Use the Notepad++ File Association Installer.
notepad_file_assoc.exe (sourceforge.net)
To work out this problem manually try this
The registry value for that file extension seems to be missing.
go to my computer
in menu bar go to Tools> Options
In view tab untick "hide extensions for known file types"
Check whether your file has .txt as an extensions
If YES and still there is a problem then
Goto Run
Type regedit. Enter
In HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT look for .txt Key
In that key change Default String value to Notepad++_file
then Restart
Hope this should resolve the problem
