Minimizing
-
Since this issue, that started at 6.8.4, has not been addressed i have finally found a better than nothing solution that actually works.
right click desktop and create new shortcut
add this as the location (obviously changing the path to your file)
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /trustlevel:0x20000 “C:\PATH TO\notepad++.exe”
set the name then right click on the shortcut>properties>change icon and navigate to notepad++.exe -

How is it so hard to believe, when in fact i am sure you are using npp for it’s features?
Well, there are features in a text-editing program, and then FEATURES in a text-editing program. If Notepad++ refused to accept the ‘A’ character when I typed it, then I would probably find something different or use an old version that didn’t have such a problem. If it simply doesn’t minimize to the tray?–BAH! Report it as a bug, but don’t get stuck on a several-year-old version because of THAT. Pick your battles. :-D

@Alan-Kilborn
please don’t tell me you feel like your are adding something by adding nothing. why are you even in this thread? -

Haha. Nice one. I’m even “plus one’ing it”. I was just answering the question you posed about features. I really don’t have anything to add, just was pointing out how stupid it is to stay on a really old version and miss out on new features (since that old release) due to the so dumb minimize to tray issue. But you have Freedom Of Choice! Don’t worry, I’m out now. :~D
