    Can't find saved NotePad in files

    Hi,

    Possible that you accidentally save the files in a different file extension name.

    In order for us to resolved your concern, we need to ask some information to isolate the issue.

    1. How do you save the file in Notepad? It's better to provide the step by step procedure on how do you save the file.

    2. How do you search your saved Notepad file?

    3. Is it all files saved in Notepad that you cannot find after saving?

    4. Are you getting an error message when you try to find the files saved in Notepad?

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Change from Notepad as Default Program

    I accidentally opened up a .har file with Notepad and cannot find a way to go back and change the settings in Windows 10. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Change file extension for Notepad ++

    Why not simply find a different program that does register itself as a potential default correctly?

    As I said before, the only option you have realistically if you wish to associate it is to use Open With, Browse to the program's exe and remember to click the check box to always use that program at the bottom.
    (Tutorial available if you need it).

    Otherwise, I suggest you use a different program that is written so as to register itself to be capable of handling the extensions it can process.

    Understand that programs which are not so written will not be listed by Windows as a potential default, as I have already said.

    Examples:
    https://www.slant.co/options/44/alte...d-alternatives
    https://www.guru99.com/notepad-plus-...ternative.html
    - checking they can be associated as defaults

    For example, looking for a replacement for Notepad, I found EditPadLite, a tabbed editor. It is easy to associate this.

    If you search this forum, Notepad++ had been discussed before.

    There are many discussions on the internet, but older references to the Control Panel are now obsolete, alas.
