      Hi,

      Recently I noticed that I’m unable to drag any file and open it in Notepad++. How can I get that option back in it ? I found it really useful but if its not there I manually have to open the files :'(.

      Guys please help how can I get this option back in Notepad++ ??

      Thanks,
      Aar N

        You are probably running N++ as administrator. See if the title bar says “[Administrator]”.

              @Aar-Né Find notepad++.exe (probably in C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++), right click, select Properties, find “Always run as admin” and unclick it. That’s the likely solution.
