(I personally have built up a list of hints on such topics over the years, which are summarized here, but I do not do generic windows support personally, nor is this forum a place for generic windows support. It’s a Windows question, not a Notepad++ specific, and it will depend on what version of Windows you have how exactly to go about it. Or you use a Windows administration tool/app to change icons (which is editing the registry behind the scenes). Or use the Windows OS GUI features to change icons, etc (which is essentially editing the registry). Replace “Notepad++” with “Insert Generic Program Here”, and the answer is the same: you go into the Windows Registry and change things.

How to define different icons for different file extensions, but all connected (to be edited) with notepad++?


This is not a unique behavior to Notepad++. Said in Different icons for file extensions:įile extensions shows always the notepad++ icon.Īs does every other application I’ve ever installed which wants to or does handle a specific filetype.
