      Sorry, I wrote several questions, but I guess my questions were not published.

      I have a lot of text documents that are in different folders on my computer. When I open my text documents, they open in one window, but in different tabs. I want that when I open each text document, a new window with this document is launched.

      What option in the settings do I need to turn on or off so that I get this result?

        As the GUI clearly indicated before you could type your post, as a new user, when you make a post, it goes into a post queue, and will wait there until a moderator has time to read and approve the post:

        Settings > Preferences > Multi-Instance and Date > ☑ Always in multi-instance mode – every time you use Windows Explorer to double-click on a file (or similar) to open it with Notepad++, it will go in a new instance. (This will not change the behavior of File > Open inside Notepad++, which always opens in a new tab, not a new instance.)

          Thanks for the answer.
          Everything works.
          Issue resolved.
          Notepad++ is my favorite text editor.

          Special thanks to you for the clarification about the publication of posts and for additional information on the topic of the question.
