How to remove Laragon bloatware such as notepad++ ?

jreloz

I really don't like notepad++ as an editor, is there any ways of removing this ?

indra

@jreloz you can add the following line to laragon.ini inside usr folder.
Example for visual studio code:
Editor=C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe
And don't forget to delete notepad++ folder inside bin folder.

@jreloz this method work for me.
What is your editor to replace notepad++?

jreloz

@indra I want to replace it with a built-in notepad. I just add the following line

Editor=C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe,
remove notepad++ folder from laragon bin directory
Restart laragon. Nothing happens.

@jreloz : Just delete things you don't want. In your case, delete bin\notepad++

indra

@jreloz you're right, doesn't work with default notepad even with administrator rights.
By default this Editor=C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe method is not working

@indra , @jreloz : How about

Editor=notepad.exe

indra

@leokhoa still not working with Editor=notepad.exe.

I have tried using bat file, for example notepad.bat with the following code:
@echo off
start C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe
Then we can use Editor=pat/to/notepad.bat.

Above method is working to open notepad, however, the problem is notepad not opening file unless we provide the path to file like start C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe C:\Dev\laragon\usr\laragon.ini.

@indra For anyone reading this topic and still wondering how to make Notepad work with laragon, your method proposed was almost complete.

Create a notepad.bat file and have the following code in it:

@echo off
start C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe %*

You were missing the argument allowing for all the arguments to be passed to notepad, including the path of the file you want to open.
