Open a text file with notepad++ "alwaysOnTop"

[Dossier]

Hallo DOS experts,
I would like to start notepad++ by a desktop link
(#1) under the option "alwaysOnTop" in a way that
(#2) the file "G:/Data/frequentInputs.txt" is opened (which I use for copy&paste actions).
The code

Code: Select all

C:
cd  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++"
notepad++ -alwaysOnTop

acchieves #1. I see notepad++ in the file arrangement as I closed it before. But how do I manage #2 - i. e. the text of frequentInputs.txt should be visible?

Basically this has nothing to do with batch. Create a shortcut to notepad++.exe. Then right click on it and chose "Properties". Change the "Target" to

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" -alwaysOnTop "G:\Data\frequentInputs.txt"

That's it.

Your line of code as a batch file does #1 and #2.

Thanks a lot for your response and help.

My point was that you don't even need a batch file

That'sright. I knew the View option Always on top before . My point is to save clicks: Click on the desktop link to the bat and see the frequent inputs. And that's why I addressed to a DOS forum.

Yes but you didn't read my first reply carefully. The whole time I'm talking about a shortcut (also known as desktop icon). Nevermind.

Got it now! That works too and is more straightforward.
