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?

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

    • I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.
    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
