How would you like to open any filetype using notepad?

I use Notepad to view many different file formats that are not registered to Windows. I have a registry hack that will do just that with 2 clicks.

This hack adds a “Notepad” command on the right click menu. Just left click it and it opens the file with Notepad. You can also replace it with your own editor of choice.

Get the registry file here (Right click and save as)

You need to merge it to your registry for it to work. If you want to know what’s inside the file … open it with Notepad. That is after you’ve installed the registry hack. Simple and sweet.

Be careful if you open binary type or large files though. It may hang your system if the file is too big, depending on your memory size.
