@Eric-Williams

I agree if it is the hosts file like I said earlier. This file has been excluded from fs redirection but
if you want to open for example gmreadme.txt located under C:\Windows\System32\drivers
then it won’t work.

Also need to support open large file. I cannot open file size higher than 600M.

I have tried the UNC from the file name field and and it works. I never thought about trying in the “File name:” field

I am use to doing the \servername\share\folder from the top or “Save in:” as a combo box I guess that is what I normally do in various other programs. So I wonder how many try to use the “Save in:” field as a combo box.

I would then say if I was to request a feature request to change the “Save in:” field to a combo box.

Thank you for clarifying that it can take UNC.

Drive mappings are default GPO when I add a drive mapping manually I add it from my user name in which is part of the domain admins. So I am guessing it is not elevated. So should I run Notepad++ as elevated as well?

@Sim-de-Niemand how does this exactly happen?
Do you start npp together with a file or is npp already running and you use open file dialog to open that file?
Or something different?
Can you post the debug output? ?->Debug Info

PMJI, but I think throwing the Match case option in this problem is exploding its complexity; just see the length of ~24 jan post from “guy038” starting (after salute) with “Because of some tiring days, this week…” (sorry for this lengthy pointing a post but absolute dates and every civilized ways have been removed).

So I suggest to just slightly change the Ctrl+F “Find” box so that the “Match case” line is treated just like the “Match whole word only”, i.e. gets GRAYED when “Regular expression” is selected. This would make the problem much more reliable and powerful since making it more general and more compliant with what its labels are saying.

Now I know by years of experience that the Notepad++ developers hate everything new or different and that this NIH syndrome of theirs will most probably get this suggestion thrown to trash even before being read… yet I submit it anyway.

Thank you very much,
I didn’t understand what was the problem!

Hello @Chris-Jalbert,

thanx for letting us know. Just one question of an uninformed one, why would I use EMET?

Hello @ali

Encode UTF-8 BOM is with BOM,
Encode UTF-8 is without.

@Claudia-Frank, Thanks for correcting me!.  :)

Oops!
Sorry about that, just slip of tongue. in my _very first tutorial _but in the second tutorial of that series, I have corrected my mistake. Once again in this forum; I wanna correct myself about which lang. Notepad++ is written :
N++ have been written using C++ along with Scintilla and pureWin32 AP I; instead of Vb.net
