You can also do a brute force method. Check out the metapad FAQ at http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/faq.html#Q28, which is also an awesome notepad replacement.

I've been using notepad2 since you mentioned it before... It would be great if Microsoft could assimilate it and its author, or at least incorporated something very similar in Longhorn.

Would save having to replace notepad with one file or another everywhere I go.

I just downloaded and installed Notepad2. It's very nice and minimal, but what ticks me off about it is you can run only one instance at a time. If you open another document by double-clicking, it replaces the existing document you're currently working on. This is very limiting.

Your instructions do not apply to Windows Server 2003. If anybody is interested in replacing notepad.exe with Notepad2.exe for Windows Server 2003, here are the instructions:

1. Tools->Folder Options->View uncheck Hide protected operating system files.
2. ren Notepad2.exe notepad.exe
3. copy notepad.exe %windir%/system32\dllcache
4. copy notepad.exe %windir%/system32
5. A dialog will popup hit cancel
6. Recheck Hide protected operating system files in the Folder Options dialog box

The dllcache contains copies of the windows protected files.

The dllcache isnt itself protected.

Here is a batch script that allows you to replace notepad with any notepad replacement: http://webdevel.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_webdevel_archive.html#108246184802912349
The advantage is it will work with any file that you drag onto it, and you do not need to unhide system files. Because of that, a backup is made and can be restored by running the batch file again.
However, it does not edit filelist.xml and so the Windows Protection box appears. I guess the only way to edit the filelist.xml as well is to write a VBS file - a check would need to be done for Windows versions though.

Great replacement for the bog standard notepad we've all been using for years. Has it even changed any at all since at least Windows 3.1?

Installation was simple though. Norton deleted notepad.exe for me because it got infected by a trojan from a damn website. All i done was put the exe and dll there and it worked.

Fantastic!

re: How to replace notepad.exe with notepad2.exe

Josh — Wed, 14 Jul 2004 14:51:00 GMT

A simpler method: Just stick notepad in a folder somewhere, right click on a text document and choose Open With, select notepad2.exe (You may have to search for it), tick the 'Always use this program' box and click OK. This saves all that messing around, and you don't even need admin privleges to do it.

Here's an excellent program to replace system files for XP and 2K.

<a href="http://www3.telus.net/_/replacer/" TARGET=_blank>Replacer</a>

Real easy to use. Drag and Drop. Just make sure you put the file you are going to replace your system file with on your root, otherwise it might drop with the shortcut path in quotes and that won't work.

have fun!
