It was first released on November 24, 2003, by developer Dan Ho, and is still in active development. Notepad++ is specially designed for editing source code. The "++" in the name is a reference to the increment operator in programming languages such as C, C++, Java, and JavaScript.

Repackaging Tips

Disable Notepad++ 8.71 Auto-Update
  1. Open Notepad++, go to the "Settings" tab, and select "Preferences".
  2. Under the "MISC." section, uncheck the option "Enable Notepad++ Auto-Updater".
  3. Click "Close" and exit the Notepad++ application.
  4. Navigate to the current user profile directory located at "%AppData%\Notepad++".
  5. Copy the "config.xml" file to the "C:\Downloads" directory with the Notepad++ executable you downloaded earlier.
  6. Rename the "config.xml" file to "config.model.xml". This will serve as the template for all future installations.
  7. Uninstall Notepad++ and delete the "%AppData%\Notepad++" directory. If a "config.xml" file already exists in the user's profile, the settings will not change during a new installation or upgrade.
  8. Follow the steps to install Notepad++ silently, as mentioned earlier in the article. Then copy the "config.model.xml" file to the "%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++" directory.
  9. Finally, delete the "%ProgramFiles%\Notepad++\updater" directory to prevent any future update notifications.
