Notepad++ always in multi instance

Question

I need Notepad++ running in multiple instance mode without "-multiInst" parameter. I can't use .lnk shortcuts, I can't use cmd.exe /c notepad++.exe -multiInst, is there another way?

Answer 1

The only way I can think of doing this would be using a wrapper. Create a file called "np++.bat" with the following content:

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++" -multiInst %1

Put it somewhere in your PATH. You can then invoke it as:

np++.bat file.txt
