Notepad++ right-click to open file in a new window
10,570
If you want to fix the right-click behavior of "Edit with Notepad++", first go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Notepad++
If the default value is:
{00F3C2EC-A6EE-11DE-A03A-EF8F55D89593}
then go to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00F3C2EC-A6EE-11DE-A03A-EF8F55D89593}\Settings
Among the items should be Custom REG_SZ
and nothing after it. Change the value to -nosession -multiInst
.
It should now read Custom REG_SZ -nosession -multiInst
. If you already have custom arguments defined, then just add a space and append -nosession -multiInst
to the list.

How can I configure Notepad++ to open a file in a new window when I right-click it and select
Edit with Notepad++
? I already know I have to launch the program with the-multiInst
switch, I just don't know how to add that to the registry mapping for the right-click. -
