Use:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\Notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""

This article has good info on how to make .REG files.

  • So, you've forgotten to add a \" . It has to be @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Notepad++\\Notepad++.exe\" \"%1\""

    YW. BTW it's easier than that. Apply the settings manually, and then use File > Export option in Regedit.exe, to create a .REG file. @ denotes (default) entry.. (standard) in some non-English versions of Windows.
