Hey guys,
Right now I want something else to run when I type in notepad. I have a program called Notepad2, open source software that's a major improvement over the current notepad. However, when I type in notepad in the run box, it opens up notepad... and when I type notepad2 in the run box, it doesn't open anything.
I've tried copying the notepad2 file over into the C:\Windows\System32 folder and tried running it that way. Nothing. I've tried renaming notepad.exe to notepad.exe.bak, and renaming notepad2.exe to notepad.exe, and tried running that... but after typing in notepad, Windows still opened up the old school notepad.
How can I make it so that I type notepad and it will automatically run Notepad 2?
Thanks!
