Hello. I removed the portable version of Notepad++, and set all text files to open with Windows Notepad.
But Windows still shows Notepad++ in the "open with"menu. It's not a big deal, but I'm just curious to know if there is a way to completely get rid of it.
I removed a couple of entries in regedit, but it's still there.

I know you said: "the portable version", but the following might work.
Install the regular, non-portable version, then use REVO uninstaller free, to uninstall Notepad++
Make sure to also... "scan" for leftovers and delete them as well.
