Whenever I right click on Autohotkey TRAY icon and click on "edit this script"; I always get the AHk script in notepad.
How do I change these default settings to open the script in Textpad ??

You can change this in your registry.

1. Open the registry editor: Click on run in your start menu and enter regedit and press enter
2. Scroll to the folder HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AutoHotkeyScript\Shell\Edit\Command
3. Double click on (Default) in the right pane
4. Change c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe to your preferred editor. I'm using PsPad: "c:\Program Files\PSPad editor\PSPad.exe" "%1" (All quotes included). The "%1%" is important, because windows replaced it by the file name you want to edit.

copy paste into a regfile

I like notepad++ as the best ahk editor since it understands its language (plugin)

I use notepad++, too. Thanks for this tip!
