<p dir="auto">I have a lot of text documents that are in different folders on my computer. When I open my text documents, they open in one window, but in different tabs. I want that when I open each text document, a new window with this document is launched.</p>
<p dir="auto">What option in the settings do I need to turn on or off so that I get this result?</p>

<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Settings &gt; Preferences &gt; Multi-Instance and Date  &gt; ☑ Always in multi-instance mode – every time you use Windows Explorer to double-click on a file (or similar) to open it with Notepad++, it will go in a new instance. (This will not change the behavior of File &gt; Open inside Notepad++, which always opens in a new tab, not a new instance.)</p>

Issue resolved.<br />
Notepad++ is my favorite text editor.</p>
