    Hi,
    I am new to Notepad++ and I am watching a video clip which explains how to use it for HTML programming.
    The video clip shows that under the RUN command there is an option to Launch in Chrome.
    My recently-downloaded version of Notepad++ is 7.7.1 and this option seems to be removed.
    How do I reactivate this option?
    Thank you.

        Thank you very much for your response.
        I followed your advice but it does not work.
        The Chrome, as well as other browsers, can not be activated for some reason.
        I took a screen shot but I don’t know how to attache it here.

          Here’s some boilerplate about formatting posts in this forum…

          This forum is formatted using Markdown , with a help link buried on the little grey ? in the COMPOSE window/pane when writing your post. For more about how to use Markdown in this forum, please see @Scott-Sumner’s post in the “how to markdown code on this forum” topic , and my updates near the end . It is very important that you use these formatting tips – using single backtick marks around small snippets, and using code-quoting for pasting multiple lines from your example data files – because otherwise, the forum will change normal quotes ("") to curly “smart” quotes (“”), will change hyphens to dashes, will sometimes hide asterisks (or if your text is c:\folder\*.txt, it will show up as c:\folder*.txt, missing the backslash). If you want to clearly communicate your text data to us, you need to properly format it. That topic also explains how to embed images by uploading them to a public server like imgur.com , and embedding them using the syntax ![](http://i.imgur.com/QTHZysa.png)

            What is your file named? The “Launch in Chrome” and similar commands are only active for files ending in .html and a few others.

            • blah.html => active
            • blah.txt => not active
            • blah.js => active
            • blah.php => active

            Personally, I think that feature should be active for all files, not just a select few… or, at the very least, a user-configurable list of extensions. I might go look at the existing issues, and if none have been filed on this, I might file one. (Depends on how much time I have right now, and when the next time I might be at my computer will be.)

              In the mean time, there are many old threads which explain how to re-enable the old-style Run-menu version of “Launch in Chrome” and similar. Here are a few of the recent links.

                actually, that was a typo… it’s not active for .php, and I think it should be.

                      The file you want to open in the browser must be saved as HTML
                      …this is important!!!
