    Change Notepad as my primary image editor


    Recently, I removed paint.net from my computer because I didn't want it to be the primary image editor that opened my image files. When I did that, Notepad occupied that primary, image-opening position. I don't want to remove Notepad from my computer; I just want it to stop opening image files.


    What should I do?


    Regards,

    Stanton

    Change primary alias

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply,

    As per description, when you click to change the primary on nothing happens.

    Have you tried to perform the troubleshooting steps provided under section
    Change which alias is primary     ?

    If you have not performed the troubleshooting steps I would suggest you perform steps under
    Change which alias is primary , from my previous post. Which are as follow.


    Note: The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature might also reset
    parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Internet Explorer Settings feature.


    Please do let us know if you need further assistance with Windows.

    Left Margin in Notepad documents Changed

    Hi,

    We tried to replicate the issue but we cannot find any settings that would adjust that little space before the first letter on your notepad. Nevertheless, we recommend that you perform the following steps to reset the settings of notepad to its default:

    • Make sure that Notepad is closed before you proceed.
    • In Cortana, type Regedit.
    • Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
    • Look for SOFTWARE and double-click.
    • Select Microsoft.
    • Look for the folder Notepad and right-click.
    • Select Delete and click Yes.
    • Close the Registry Editor window.

    After performing the following steps, you can open again your notepad file and check if you now have that little space before the first letter.

    Please let us know if this helped you resolve the issue.

    Change Notepad as my primary image editor

    Agree with most replies above - Notepad is a basic editor.


    the only reason im looking for a new notepad is to have a newer feel or something a bit more metro/ modern

    calculator, calendar etc; all have been redesigned

    Best notepad apps - Windows 10 - Appy Ninja

    some 3rd party options that have a bit more gui:
    FluentNotepad
    Notepad Classic
    ModernNote
    Syncplify.me Notepad
    Notepad7
    Notepad8
    NOTEPAD RT
    Modern Notepad
