Using Notepad++ 4.5 I noticed in Task Manager Notepad++ has 18000 file handles!!! I think this number is too big, since no other program comes even close, the second is lsass.exe with 324. I'm using Notepad with Explorer, FunctionList and Spellcheck plugins.
18.000 handles? Christ, sounds like taskmanager has a bug :)
If it does indeed have 18k handles, though, my gut guess would be the explorer plugin leaking Find*File handles...
Mine has only 114. Is it like that even after you close it and reopen it?
18000 file handles? How do you get this number?

In the taskmanager under view you can choose 'select columns', you can pick it from there (along with GDI handles, notepad snoops quite a few from those too, although not excessive or anything ;))
Some plugin has been leaking handles apparantly, or notepad although I doubt that. Try using one plugin at a time with heavy usage, see if it results in anything
(and it doesnt have to be a file handle per se, any HANDLE will do afaik, like threads)
Very interesting info...
Without any plugins loaded (Notepad++ -noplugin), Notepad++ has ONLY 78 handles on my machine...
I'm impressed ! :)
