Notepad++ always in multi instance

I need 开发者_StackOverflow社区Notepad++ running in multiple instance mode without "-multiInst" parameter. I can't use .lnk shortcuts, I can't use cmd.exe /c notepad++.exe -multiInst, is there another way?

---

The only way I can think of doing this would be using a wrapper. Create a file called "np++.bat" with the following content:

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++" -multiInst %1

Put it somewhere in your PATH. You can then invoke it as:

np++.bat file.txt

If you need MDI-mode Notepad++, there is no way to force it to start in multi-instance mode without the -multiInst parameter.

If you can work with SDI-mode Notepad++ (like Notepad), it'll default to multi-instance mode just like the default Notepad on Windows: one window per file. To trigger SDI mode, place an empty file called asNotepad.xml in %ProgramFiles%\Notepad++. Be sure to back up your %AppData%\Notepad++ folder before starting Notepad++ again.

You can also manually create another instance by going to Run > Open in another instance.

Actually there is a way to do it without the -multiInst parameter:

create a totally empty file called 'asNotepad.xml' and put it in the Notepad++ directory at the same level as the notepad++.exe file

• Settings > Preferences... > Multi-instance
• Click "Always in multi-instance mode"
• Click Close
• Close all Notepad++ programs

It did not work the first two times I tried it. Maybe Notepad++ takes a while to fully exit.

Hoi, in a n++.bat file, in your path just enter: (for the x86 version )

start "N++ Multi Instance" /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\" Notepad++ -multiInst %1

Then pull the link to that bat file via right mouse click and drag and drop it to your desktop.

Just click on the link/icon and your n++ starts with every click!

I had a similar problem with Notepad++ not remembering that I had chosen not the "Remember Current Session". I tried hacking the config file, but that didn't work. Then I found out that there is a secret config file in your C:\Users\myuseraccount\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++ directory (Windows 7 x64). Mine was empty, meaning who know where the config was really coming from, but I copied over the file with the one in C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++ and now everything works just like you would expect it to.

recently I got same problem.

As I think the easiest way is to write simple .bat file something like this:

...

SET var1="C:\Users\churaev.s\Desktop\a01_strt.bat"
SET var2="C:\Users\churaev.s\Desktop\b02_code.mat"

SET var3="C:\Users\churaev.s\Desktop\c03_data.txt"

...

START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %var1%

START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %var2%

START "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %var3%

...

The easiest way is to right-click a tab and "open in new window"... voilà!
