    Double click in Windows Explorer is sometimes not working. Notepad++ shows an empty file. Dragging and dropping files is always working. It doesn't seem to make a difference if Notepad++ is already started or not. I tried this on two PC's.

      Looks like this is bug #1664872.

      I'm having the same problem (Win2000, N++ v4.0.2).

      Double-clicking sometimes works sometimes doesn't; may be related to opening from a Network Drive.
      Closing the empty file and opening from the RUF list always works. Right-clicking the file in Explorer and selecting Open in N++ always works. Open With... and selecting N++ always works.

      My command line (Folder Options|File Types|Advanced|Edit Actions) is

         "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" "%1"

      Maybe I need to use DDE to open it?
