Sometimes in Windows, you have to use cmd console, create files in it, etc. So it is convenient to bind file opening in npp (notepad++) to alias npp <file name>. There are different ways to do it, but the easiest is this:
1. create a .bat file named npp.bat and write there
@echo off start "" "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" %*
2. we just put it into the folder C:\Windows
Hallelujah! Now you can open files in your favorite npp from the console 🙂
