NotePad++ open in window/not as tab

[3DNovice]

I'm not a power user by any means, but I do prefer using NotePad++ over Microsoft's NotePad.

The one thing I do not really care for is.... that to have two texts side by side, you have to select...
View/Move/Clone Current Document/Move to New Instance

Not a big deal, just a minor nuasance

Today I was looking through multiple profiles from different drivers and just using Ms NotePad for convenience,
but it's search function sucks compared to NotePad++ and I like the "count" option in NotePad++

So I checked YouTube for a solution

It's very simple...create a txt file on your desktop...rename it to asNotepad.xml...now drag this into the folder for NotePad++

Now every instance of NotePad++ opens in a new instance/window

This is also handy
