I previously showed you (without a screencast) how to make NP++ default in XP. Of course, people have successfully done this for W7/Vista as well, but the various tutorials I saw were all a huge pain in the ass. Except for one: a comment on a more-complicated method. I made the following short screencast to demonstrate that method. This one has the advantages of being easy to reverse, easy to do, and not in any way intimidating!

For those using Standard Level account type in Windows 7 instead of the default Administrator Level account.
Right-click on the Notepad++ icon and select “Run as administrator” and use a local Administrator account password.
If not, the steps in the screencast fail to take.
Thanks for that edit! I had forgotten that I had removed as many security features as possible…
