Notepad++: How to automatically set Language as Xml when load files

Question

Whenever I edit a .config file in Notepad++ (which is an XML file) I want the syntax highlighting to automatically color it like XML. How do I configure Notepad++ to do this so that I don't have to manually select it every time I open a .config file?

Thanks.
