Does it install? There is a setting in Details of Settings I think - on left pane choose 'Default Applications' - change 'Gedit' for your preferred NotepadPP app. ;) :D

Notepad++ will install and run using PlayOnLinux. However, when using POL it doesn't install to the default WINEPREFIX, and therefore file associations don't appear to work.

There has to be a way around this, just not quite sure how to accomplish it.
