How to open documents in different windows?
-
Sorry, I wrote several questions, but I guess my questions were not published.
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.
What option in the settings do I need to turn on or off so that I get this result?

As the GUI clearly indicated before you could type your post, as a new user, when you make a post, it goes into a post queue, and will wait there until a moderator has time to read and approve the post:

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 > Open inside Notepad++, which always opens in a new tab, not a new instance.)- User Manual description of the preferences: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/
