How can I set up an editor to work with Git on Windows?

git config --global core.editor ""c:Program FilesNotepad++notepad++.exe""
or
git config --global core.editor ""c:Program FilesNotepad++notepad++.exe" %*"

C:proggit>git config --global --edit
"c:Program FilesNotepad++notepad++.exe" %*: c:Program FilesNotepad++notepad++.exe: command not found
