    Superb, I use it every day at work, The best of it's type I've come across.

    only 2 things let it down in my opinion.

    1 - As you can get a fully portable version, why not just make the whole application portable by default, there's no real need not to?
    2 - Startup time is getting slower and slower with each release. I have very few plugins installed (3-4 at most) and notice that with each release it gets that bit more sluggish to start. Though once started is blazingly fast.

    and making it auto update would be a GODSEND!

    I don't pretend to you all, or even most of its features (of which there are many) But it is a very good application

    edit: OK maybe I should look a little more carefully before shouting my mouth off. Didn't notice that new installer will bypass %appdata% folder and store data inside it's own folder - so the portability option might be there already (sorry)

    Also... It does now include an auto updater, which I missed before. My bad.

    My apologies Notepad++ :)

    Updating my 4 to a 5*

    The best editor, no doubt about that, but they should start making it portable and only portable. Installing cr*p around is an old fashion.

    @mbegley: sorry to hear that. Small word of advice: NppShell_01.dll (or any other .DLL from other programs, that has "Shell" in the name) is used for Windows Explorer integration - when you right click on a file in explorer you get the option to open it with Notepad++ ... that kind of stuff.

    You cannot remove it since it is open by OS (in use) and not because you don't have rights or somethings.

    How to remove it tough: rename the file NppShell_01.dll (you will be allowed), reboot and afterwards delete it. You will still remain with some garbage in the registry but this is easely fixable as well.

    Hope this helps, not only for this programs ;)
