[TUT] Replacing XP's Notepad with Notepad++

[Eugene]

Step 1. Download Notepad++ and install.
Step 2. Download Notepad++ launcher and extract.
Step 3. Copy notepad.exe (witch was in the launcher) into 3 directories (in given order) :
A. C:\Windows\system32\dllcache
B. C:\Windows\system32
C. C:\Windows

Step 4. When you replace notepad.exe in C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows, a “Windows File Protection” message box appears, Click "Cancel". Then another message box appears, Click "Yes".
Step 5. Enjoy your new notepad.
