Open notepad++ as multiple instances

turn from how to Launch multiple Instances of notepad++

Notepad++ is my primary the text editor, as it offers a huge amount of features, and yet remains fairly simple to use. After months of the using it heavily both at home and at work, I began to wonder if I could launch multiple instances of it at One time. Given that I had a monitors in either case, I thought it would was interesting to the one notepad++ window per monitor.

The best approach I found makes a new copy of notepad++ launch every time you use a shortcut. Your machine, simply does the Following:right-click any notepad++ shortcut. Select Properties. Move to the Shortcut tab. In the end of the Target field, add "-multiinst". Click OK.

Example:target: "C:\Program files\notepad++\notepad++.exe"-multiinst

You might is wondering at the "What if I ' m already using notepad++," Do I still has to use the shortcut to launch a Nother? Thankfully, No. To launch another instance if already using the editor, you can simply press ALT + F6, or Click Run, Open in anothe R instance in the menu bar.
