      @J-Mark-Barfield , that was not a “regedit”, that was a normal command-line command all those two commands did was run an instance of notepad++.exe without RunAsAdmin privileges, even before you made the change to the executable compatibility settings it was completely unnecessary all you had to do was exit Notepad++ application completely (so it wasn’t running), then do the steps I explained to get notepad++.exe to not run as admin, and then the next time you ran Notepad++ (either using your shortcut or double clicking on the exe or running the exe from the command line normally or double clicking on a text file or right clicking and choosing Edit with Notepad++) would have run Notepad++ not as admin if you didn’t exit Notepad++ first, then the still running Notepad++ instance would still be running as Admin. Changing the exe properties while the exe is running doesn’t magically drop the running Notepad++ out of Admin mode. And thus your right click would not have worked, because the running Notepad++ was still in Admin mode. all you did by doing those extra commands was close the Notepad++ that was running as admin open a new instance that wasn’t running as admin change the exe properties so that it wouldn’t run as admin next time (I understand that you got it working, so you don’t really care at this point. But I don’t want future people to read this discussion, and come to the wrong conclusion that they need to do your extra steps. Those steps were completely unnecessary.)

      @Dario-Ampuy said: Hello, i found an issue with the latest update, since then the working folder doesn’t expand. i tried to remove it and add it again with the same result, used local and network drives with the same result. downgraded until a fix is released. thank you If I understood you correctly, you are talking about the “Folder as Workspace” feature, right? If so, that was reported multiple times in this forum and in the main issues (like #18226 and #18248), and is caused if you have symbolic links in your directories. Unfortunately, when I look through the fixes in v8.9.8 Release Candidate, or look at the still-open issues, I am not sure that a fix for that problem made it into v8.9.8. That is rather unfortunate, as it was a major complaint with v8.9.7.

      When finding in files is it possible to show more than one line?

      @petey200 , The Search Results panel is designed to only show one line per match (even if you do a search expression that matches text that crosses over lines, it will only show the first line of the match). There isn’t a way to increase context. Support for multiple keywords would be an additional plus. The existing regular expression (regex) feature already handles that. Find What = \b(George|Gracie|whale)\b the \b matches “word boundary” so it would match George but not Georgene, etc. the (...) makes a group - without this logical group, the \b would have to be repeated at the beginning and end of each word, like \bGeorge\b|\bGracie\b|\bwhale\b the | means “OR” translated to english, this Find What means “match a boundary, then George or Gracie or whale, then another boundary” Match Case = off Search Mode = Regular Expression . matches newline = off [image: 1786722146144-7274a6f0-798a-4c00-9466-d487a784e5af-image.jpeg] – From our FAQ section, the Generic Regular Expression formula FAQ links to a post Generic Regex: Logic Gates for Regular Expressions which explains how to match lines with AND, OR, Exclusive-OR, and similar logical constructs.
