When you go to open a program and without warning they open in notepad, and all you see is lines of gibberish, it can be frustrating right?
Follow these simple steps to fix this error and be back up and running in minutes.
Note: This method does not require internet or command prompt, so dont worry if yours arent working.
Step 1: Open Notepad by pressing Windows Logo + R Key, type "notepad" and press enter.
Step 2: Copy this code and paste it into your notepad, it will be in the comments.
Step 3: Click file,save as,fix.reg IMPORTANT!!! CHANGE SAVE FILE TYPE TO "ALL FILES" AND ENCODING TO "UNICODE"
Step 4: Save in your desired location and close the notepad
Step 5: Navigate to the file "fix.reg" you created and right click, selecting "Merge". UAC may or may not appear, click yes if it does, and yes to the second message.
A message will appear after saying the registry was successfully updated.
Thats it, now you should be able to open programs as before this whole problem started.

How to fix .rar files from opening in notepad instead of winrar: 1) Open control panel
2) Hit programs
3) Click default programs) 4) click set your default programs 5)scroll down to choose default apps by file type 6) scroll down in the r section until you find .rar 7) if it shows in a notepad click on it and change it to WINRAR. Hopes I fixed that problem

The "unicode" choice isn't showing up for me. It only has options for UTF 8, UTF 16 etc
same, so i just went with UTF 8, it worked :)

I have modded GTA V and i accidentally changed an .asi file so that it will open in notepad and now no mods are working because the asi loader can´t recognize the file. Will this fix that?
+JustARandom i have this problem right now too. diod you fix it?
Aidan Weiner I fixed it a long time ago. Can´t remember how tho.
I have this problem right now and every mod that I open for GTA 5 opens into Notepad, so if I download it from, for example, gta5mods, then it'll open into notepad with a bunch of coding. Anyway to fix it?
how did you mod
i have this in minecraft

thx it tool forever
I am aware the code has somehow vanished. As this video is getting quite old, checkout this article for what appears to be a great updated guide if the code pinned in the comments didn’t solve the problem www.askvg.com/solution-exe-files-always-open-with-notepad-or-other-applications/
access denied
Thanks a lot, method A has successfully worked for me, OS : windows 10
This vid doesnt help at all, you didnt even put the code in the description. And the pinned comment is a completely different code. You never told anyone what unicode is or how to download it or anything. IM NOT TRYING TO BE A HATER, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR ARE TRYING TO HELP. BUT ALOT OF THE THINGS IN THE VIDEO ARE UNCLEAR.
There are very specific reasons to not explaining. Not only would you not care, but you’d comment “video is too long, get to the point”. I appreciate the feedback though. When that video was posted, that was the associated code.
Thank You so much!!!
What a cool desktop you have
Ahhh..now i can play ugg (untitled goose game) ty!!!!!!
that game is so good
i dont have the unitcode
What other encodings can you use besides Unicode? I don't have Unicode as an option.

Kaleb Rider same here
Michael Rider DUDE ME TOO WTH IM DONE WITH THIS omg
Michael Rider yea my files keep on opening to notepad

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!!!!
This was a scam there is no code!!!!! IF lies to us about just to have views and stuff that is not nice we have problems and if he is lying to us about the code and etc. that is not a nice thing.
Just to confirm, a scam is when you A) rip someone off B) Sell something thought to be one thing but turns out to be another or C) mislead you to buy something.
Nothing was being sold in this video 😜
There no code In the description lol
exactly
