How can I show the tab bar in Notepad++?

Tags:

Is there a way to force-show the tab bar in Notepad++ when in notepad-mode? That is, when I have the asNotepad.xml file in the Notepad++ executable directory?

The latest version of Notepad++ (v6.5) allows you to select whether to hide the tab bars. It's under Settings > Preference > General > Tab Bar

What you should NOT do is hide the tab bar, and remove the asNotepad.xml file. If you do these things you will NEVER have the tab bar.

What you should do instead is setup the appropriate file associations in the Preferences so that notepad++ will simply be the default application for those file extensions.
