Notepad++ is a free source code editor (and Notepad replacement), which supports several programming languages, running under the MS Windows environment. This project, based on the Scintilla edit component (a very powerful editor component), written in C++ with pure win32 api and STL (that ensures the higher execution speed and smaller size of the program), is under the GPL Licence.

A sure keeper, but doesn't open fast enough on a 3800+ to be a notepad replacement. = (

<3's Notepads less then half a second starts.

Try Notedpad2. I use it as a notepad replacement... just as fast to load. It has fewer features than Notepad++ but many more than the regular notepad.

Has the autoupdater ever worked for anyone? :/

Never worked here, and the option to check for updates crashes (under vista) as it requires the app to be ran with admin credentials, something I don't want to do for two reasons, first being it shouldn't need admin privileges and second i would have to click through the UAC dialogue every time I run it :( And no I don't want to disable UAC on my system :)

That said however, this is a brilliant app.

Cool. Thanks Elite.

I have been using Notepad++ to maintain several websites and wondered if you, or anyone, knows how to configure it so that I could have either

1) multiple instance open (each with a set of files it will remember for the next time)

or

2) multiple profiles within the one instance so I can quickly switch between sets of files

Maybe this bit of info will help you:

In this version, user can make Notepad++ have the same behaviour as MS Notepad (ie. multi-instance and no tabbed interface) by adding a file with zero length named asNotepad.xml.

Thanks for the response Avi. Maybe I did not explain clearly but I do very much like the tabbed interface (where each tab is a different document). However, I would like to have multiple instances of NP++ where each instance has its own set of tabs containing the group of documents for that particular project.

Does that make sense?

Maybe this bit of info will help you:

Good idea. Done - Request ID: 1934998

Sorry to drag up an old post, but I thought this might be of help for others who googled "notepad++ multiple instances".

Add "-multiInst" to the Notepad++ shortcut.

For instance,

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -multiInst

    • So, recently, I saw on the news (yes, on this website) that Samsung is introducing features where it can provide education using AI-powered sets, and because of this, I got concerned about whether the AI gives out wrong info during education sessions, causing controversies in the process. What are your thoughts on this? 
    • TCL's Bang & Olufsen soundbar is 40% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The TCL Design Series A65K is currently $299.99, down from $499.99. That's 40% off and $200 saved on a soundbar tuned by Bang & Olufsen, which is not a combination you'd normally expect at this price point (purchase link below). Bang & Olufsen doesn't typically show up in the sub-$500 category. The Danish audio brand is known for speakers that cost several times more, so having their acoustic tuning on a $300 soundbar is very appealing. TCL handles the hardware, B&O handles the sound engineering, and the result is what the company calls "accessible luxury." Still, accessible luxury isn’t full-fledged luxury, so don’t expect wonders. But this is a decent soundbar, nevertheless. The A65K is a true 3.1.2 channel system with nine physical drivers, including genuine up-firing height speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Many soundbars at this price simulate overhead effects through virtual processing, rather than actual hardware. So, you’re getting the real deal. The design is unusually slim for a system with Atmos compatibility. The bar is just under 2 inches deep and should fit beneath most TV screens. The wireless subwoofer is also compact at roughly 14 x 14 x 5 inches. Total output is 460W, and you can connect to the soundbar via HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.3, or USB. There are also eight sound modes through the TCL Home app and an AI calibration capability. Although it’s worth mentioning that AI capabilities in most of these devices are inconsistent, to say the least, and that shouldn’t be the biggest selling point. Still, at $299.99, the A65K is a strong buy for anyone who wants a soundbar that sounds and looks noticeably better than what this price range usually offers. And the Bang & Olufsen branding surely sounds nice - pun intended.
