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

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
