I installed the Unicode version update for Notepad++ and then realized one of the plugins I need (Light Explorer) is not yet compatible with this version. If I want to use the ANSI version, do I simply need to copy the ANSI Notepad++.exe file to my Notepad++ Program Files directory? Are there any other files I need to copy over (aside from installing the plugins that I need)?

download npp.5.1.2.bin.zip
For the zip format installation, if it's the first time you install Notepad++, just unzip the ANSI tree from the zip file to desired directory, then execute notepad++.exe. However, if you upgrade Notepad++ from the previous version, you have to follow the instructions:
1. Get Run Dialog by clicking start->run (Notepad++ should be closed).
2. Copy this text %APPDATA%\Notepad++ into the text field of Run Dialog.
3. Click ok. A folder named "Notepad++" will appear.
4. Delete 2 files config.xml and stylers.xml then unzip the ANSI tree from the zip file and launch Notepad++.

So, if I have already installed the 5.1.2 Unicode version of Notepad++, then I need to do the former?
Or do I just need to copy the ANSI Notepad++.exe file, since I've already installed the rest of the 5.1.2 files? In other words, is the Notepad++.exe file the only file that is different between the ANSI and Unicode versions, aside from the plugins?

Is it really so hard to reinstall the application. Do Have you to waste the time of people helping you and your own? In the time you read both questions you could have done it easily.
Second thing is you could have tried it yourself.
And no, I cannot help you with this because I don't know it.

This must be the nastiest support forum I've ever used. I've seen similar responses to other users on this forum. It's too bad folks feel compelled to give such negative criticism. I guess you never heard the saying: "If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all." Since your such a busy child, I'm surprised you wasted the time to write your useless response. I'm flattered.
Anyway, since I'm not a computer genius, I'm trying to be careful about how I update to the new version, since the process hasn't smoothed itself out yet. I have many of my settings customized in Notepad++, so I don't want to just do a complete reinstall and risk losing my customizations.
I'm asking the above question, so I don't run into problems later that may not be apparent upon first using the updated version (using the process to update outlined above). I haven't run into any problems thus far using the method above, in case anyone else runs into a similar situation. Hopefully, things will continue to run smoothly.

In the time taken to write the hostile response a helpful one could hav as easily been written. Whew, I thought flaming was dead?
