## XML Notepad File Association | ||
|
||
See the following video that shows how to associate XML Notepad with various .xml file types: | ||
|
||
[Youtube Video](https://youtu.be/n-6sSUSlN34) | ||
|
||
The general approach that works is to do the following: | ||
|
||
1. Open the XML Notepad that you installed already. | ||
2. Select Help/Open Sample... and select "Hamlet.xml" | ||
3. You will see a long file path in the address bar like this: | ||
|
||
> C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\43906ChrisLovett.XmlNotepad_2.9.0.5_neutral__hndwmj480pefj\Application\Samples\Hamlet.xml | ||
If you open this path in Windows Explorer you can locate XmlNotepad.exe here: | ||
|
||
> C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\43906ChrisLovett.XmlNotepad_2.9.0.5_neutral__hndwmj480pefj\Application\XmlNotepad.exe | ||
Copy this path to the clipboard. | ||
|
||
Now use the start menu to find the "Default apps" settings dialog. | ||
|
||
Enter the file type at the top (e.g. type in ".xsd" or ".xslt"), | ||
then click the button labelled `+ Choose a default`. | ||
|
||
Scroll to the bottom of this dialog and click `Choose an app on your PC` | ||
|
||
And paste in the path you coped to the clipboard earlier. | ||
Click `Open` then click `Set Default`. | ||
|
||
As soon as you do this the icon on the file type you associated should change | ||
in Windows Explorer showing the XML Notepad icon and when you double click the | ||
file it will automatically open XML Notepad. | ||
|
||
Note that when you have done one extension, all the other extensions are much | ||
easier because XML Notepad will now show up in the list of possible apps to | ||
choose. | ||
|
||
The path you have registered here is version specific so you may have to repeat | ||
this process when you install new versions of XML Notepad. |
