What Is a Text Editor? And Why Does It Matter to Developers?
If you have Windows, you have access to the default Notepad application installed on your computer.
At some point, you would have used Notepad to replace Microsoft Word. But those who work with code understand that while it looks similar to Microsoft Word in terms of providing a writing space, Notepad can do more.
Most modern systems come with pre-installed basic text editor software like Notepad, and you can use them for more than just taking notes and creating documents.

Assuming you're on a Window's Machine (likely windows 10). If you're on another OS / Computer, let me know. Anyways, on Windows 10
In the search bar in the lower left of your screen,
type "default" and the top search result should be "set default apps" - click on it.
in the new pop up screen you'll see a bunch of file types and corresponding applications (apps) that are used to open them.
scroll down past those to a link that says "choose default apps by file type" and click there. it will open a new windows.
Scroll down to text files (.txt) and you'll see notepad (default) to the right. Click on it and it will bring up a list of installed apps that open this file type. Choose Notepad++ and the close all windows and you're done.
Let me know if you have any questions.
