<p dir="auto">That seem to do nothing, but I have a second issue in that I can’t see a switch to not load previous files (if notepad++ is not already open).</p>
<p dir="auto">If I specify a file AND notepad++ is not running I don’t want a session prefix in the title bar and I don’t want previously loaded files loaded (single tab open).  If it is already running I want a new tab added.<br />
Can notepad++ do this?</p>
<p dir="auto">I have hardly used Notepad++ so I could be doing something wrong.  I may have downloaded plugins that I don’t remember.</p>

<p dir="auto">Well, of course there is any easy way to show yourself (and others) your plugins.  Looking at your <em>Plugins</em> menu is one way, example:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1631797782849-5e04d692-296a-4959-bcb2-2a9ac0b9f092-image.png" alt="5e04d692-296a-4959-bcb2-2a9ac0b9f092-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">And going to the <code>?</code> menu and choosing <em>Debug Info</em> is another way:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="/assets/uploads/files/1631797824748-088eb0ee-beba-46a6-9cb0-a571be85ed23-image.png" alt="088eb0ee-beba-46a6-9cb0-a571be85ed23-image.png" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">It will give you something that looks like this:</p>

<p dir="auto">You mention a session prefix.  Notepad++ doesn’t do that natively.  Are you using the Session Manager plugin?  Because that plugin has a session-prefix option (<strong>Show in title bar</strong>).  If you are using that plugin, then I doubt that the plugin obeys Notepad++'s <code>-nosession</code> command line option.  Unfortunately, the author of that plugin has abandoned it, and other than someone bumping from 1.4.2 to 1.4.3 to support 64bit Notepad++, no one has adopted the plugin, so there’s little chance of getting a new feature added anytime soon.</p>
<p dir="auto"><em>addendum</em>: the Session Manager documentation is still hosted <a href="http://mfoster.com/npp/SessionMgr.html" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>, if you want to learn more about the settings.</p>

<p dir="auto">I’m using the -nosession flag constantly and it works for me.</p>
<p dir="auto">If I understand correctly, then setting <code>prefereces-&gt;multi-instance</code> to <code>default</code> and uncheck <code>preferences-&gt;Backup-&gt;remember current session for next launch</code> should do what you want.</p>
