      @dinkumoil I always use the portable version of Notepad ++, and try not to write full paths.

        You can use the Npp environment variable $(NPP_DIRECTORY).

          This is the most suitable way.

              I tried to get rid of it … and you offer me to return to this?

                  by the way:

                  And how is such a combination of two code variants … does it violate the laws of criminal law?
                  <Command name="Restart" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">cmd /c taskkill /f /im notepad++.exe && start notepad++.exe</Command>

                  lol, no, everything is legal 😉

                  your version is correct, mine was wrong, as it keeps the cmd window open.
                  i just have forgotten the start command while typing, sorry 🙏

                    Just for completeness, there is also the $(NPP_FULL_FILE_PATH) variable.

                      Please show me an example of your solution code.

                        I don’t have one, it was in response to your response about using $(NPP_DIRECTORY),
                        which would mean you need to concatenate directory and executable wheres $(NPP_FULL_FILE_PATH) is already the complete path.
                        Did I misunderstood something?
