I recently installed Notepad++ v6.6.6 (On Windows 8 x64) and associated file types. The installer changed file type description of every associated extension to Notepad++ Document.
For example, I have php, css and js files in the same folder it groups all files under Notepad++ Document. Is there any way to change file type descriptions to their default. Like:
- php – PHP File or PHP Script
- css – CSS File or Cascading Stylesheet
- js – JS File or JavaScript Document
I tried FileTypesMan but when I change description of 1 file type it changes all file type description. For example, when I change txt file to Text Document it changes all ext. associated with notepad++ to Text Document .
I'm willing to change every file type description by hand.

If you have a look under:
You should see something like
Notepad++_file
If you find the entry for that in HKCR, e.g.
You'll see the description "Notepad++ Document", this is where Explorer picks it up from. If you simply set the value for
Notepad++_file
to empty and then ALL files will revert to generic descriptions, e.g. TXT file, PHP file etc.
