FAQ. I can't seem to get AkelPad to replace NotePad - RE

Post by Fr001 »

If you get "Access denied." under Windows 7, do this.

For example, you installed AkelPad x64 under Windows 7
then you find it in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\\AKELPAD.EXE

To transfert the association of .txt from Notepad to AkelPad, do this.

Launch CMD as ADMINISTRATOR:
clic Start (generally down-left on the main desktop toolbar),
search cmd , a list opens above the search field, Cmd is under Programs,
right-clic Cmd then select "Run as Administrator".

A black Command Window opens,
just enter the commands after C:\...>
the other lines are the normal answers for you to check.
Only the last FTYPE command is essential.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\...> ASSOC | find /i ".txt"
.txt=txtfile
C:\...> FTYPE | find /i "txtfile"
txtfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
C:\...> FTYPE txtfile=%SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\\AKELPAD.EXE %1 %*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To get Help enter for example: ASSOC /?
