upgrading from Notepad 2 to Notepad 3, updating all Reg entires...
I have been using Notepad 2 for more then a decade.. sadly no new updates since 2012,
BUT MP2 IS open-source

I recently discovered that some one has picked up the torch and forked the code and
NOW Notepad 3 LIVES!!!!!!!!!!! lol :3
As a quick fix I simple renamed the old Notepad 2 folder to..
from: C:\Program Files\Notepad2
to : C:\Program Files\Notepad2_retired
and Notepad 3 renamed to Notepad 2, exe and folder names as a quick fix...
now I am using Reg scanner from

I was able to do a massive quick export of all Notepad 2 entires to a reg file so I can update all
Notepad2 references to Notepad3
- notepad2 <-- folder name.
- Notepad2.exe <-- exe name.
- Edit_w/_Notepad_2 <-- class name.
am finally(sorry tend to be a bit long winded, ie I explain in detail)
when exporting from Regedit it uses a @ for a default value BUT RegScanner uses a "" in stead.. I was wondering if there was any possibility of there being an issue when I export my updates back in..???
