reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "$env:ProgramFiles\Notepad++\notepad++.exe -notepadStyleCmdline -z" /f

1. check if we have 64 or 32 bit notepad++

if (Test-Path "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe") { echo "64bit" } `
elseif (Test-Path "C:\Program Files(x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe") {echo "32bit"} `
else {echo "Not installed!"}

1. Make notepad++ the default

reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe"

1. In cmd.exe:

REM If 64-bit Notepad++
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "\"%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe\" -notepadStyleCmdline -z" /f

REM If 32-bit Notepad++
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "\"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe\" -notepadStyleCmdline -z" /f

1. In Powershell:
2. 64bit

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "$env:ProgramFiles\Notepad++\notepad++.exe -notepadStyleCmdline -z" /f

1. 32bit

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\notepad.exe" /v "Debugger" /t REG_SZ /d "$env:ProgramFiles(x86)%\Notepad++\notepad++.exe -notepadStyleCmdline -z" /f
