Automatically start NP++ if it was running at Windows shutdown
-
Some programs (especially by Micosoft, i.e. Outlook and Word), are started automatically on next Windows start if they were running at Windows shutdown. I.e. they don’t start always at Win start but only if they were running at shutdown.
Is NP++ capable of this? Or is it a Windows feature and NP++ can’t do anything about this?

@fml2 ,
I’ve never heard of such a thing (and my experiment after reading it could not replicate it with MS Word). While I will assume that Word/Outlook really do behave like that for you, I don’t know how make it work like that for me, nor do I know how any mere mortal application like Notepad++ would be able to take advantage of such magic.
As far as I know, if you want Windows to keep the current state of applications, use Sleep Mode instead of actually shutting down. If you do that, all applications, including Notepad++, will wake up in the state they were in when you put the computer to sleep.
But since any Reasonable Notepad++ User™ ;-) will always have Notepad++ running, then just put Notepad++ in your Startup list, and if you have Notepad++ set to remember the current session (default condition), then the next time it runs, it will open the same files.

I am a reasonable user :-) and will put NP++ on the startup list.
