Mmmm, pizza. 
It's simple: You cannot edit .d files. They aren't in the D language, for which Notepad++ has support. The .d files are some sort of "compressed" DinkC (not C!) files.

The good news is that you don't need the .d files. The .c files of the original games are included! Look at the "\develop" directory in your dink directory. There's a file "source.zip" in there, which has all .c files used. You can open these in Notepad++ or whatever text editor you use, change them, and save them somewhere.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
Nope. There's a program out there that will convert the files into *.d files, but there really is no reason to do so, at least not for the original game. There's also the (minor) fact that *.d files don't compress as well as *.c files in zip/rar, etc.

The thing that changes .c to .d comes with the game. It's in the develop folder. It's called compile or something.

Don't use it. It's buggy. The .c ones work OK if you delete the .d ones from the \story
