      Is there anyway i can disable editing in notepad++. So it will display the contents of the file but not allow the user to change the file.
      Thanks in advance for any help

        @Anthony-Blinco ,

        Edit > Set Read Only

        Or make the file read-only through the OS interface.

            Oh, right, one more. There’s also the -ro command line option, which will open the file in read-only mode

              And yet one more…

              Also on the right-click context menu of all tabs:
