    I made a Python script, I save it as newpython.py in c:\Program Files\Notepad++\plugins\PythonScript\scripts\.

    Now, I want to run it, but cannot find it…

      I find the answer. I must use the Installed Version of Notepad++, not the Portable Version as to work.

        Lest other readers of this thread believe it, it is not true.

        I made a Python script

        Well, how exactly did you do this?

        If you did Plugins > Python Script > New Script, and give your script a name and some lines of code, after you Save it for the first time you can go to Plugins > Python Script > Scripts and it will be shown there.

        However, if you create a new .py file in the ...\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\ folder in some other way, it will not show up in the menus until after you restart Notepad++.

        Using the New Script method, there’s an automatic way for the plugin to know to modify the menus right away. Using any other method – how could it know? At startup of N++ (and thus the plugin), it scans the scripts folder to build the menus the initial time, so it finds all existing scripts at that time.
