      Ah, now I understand your point, you erased the FULL_PATH_TO_YOUR\ part of @Meta-Chuh 's code.

      Well, I would say you are lucky that it works without the full path to Npp. I guess currently Npp sets its own path as the current path when it executes the command. But I would not rely on that, maybe this behaviour changes in the future.

      Over the years I got used to ALWAYS use fully qualified and quoted paths. This makes your scripts error proof and thus your life much more easy.

        @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?
