Bit of a weird one this, just wondered if anyone else had had this happen to them...
Using Notepad++ 5.2 (UNICODE) on XP Pro SP3.
Sometimes I'll go to open Notepad++ either by clicking the icon on my Quick Launch bar, using the Start menu "Run..." option, or using Launchy (yeah, I know, I'm hilariously inconsistent). Anyway, however many times I run it, the window just doesn't appear - nothing on the task bar, nothing on the desktop.
So, I'll then open Task Manager and there will be at least one "notepad++.exe" process running (sometimes more). Even after killing off the process(es) and trying again, Notepad++ just won't reappear. The only way I've found to get the window back up is to actually go to the command line (cmd.exe), cd to C:\Program Files\Notepad++ and run "notepad++.exe" from there. Then for some reason it instantly reappears.
I've only had this happen a couple of times, so I haven't really got to the bottom of what's going on. I just wondered if anyone else had noticed it, or if I'm going mad?
cheers!

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I had this happen today after some registry cleaning. I restored the registry entries, none of which looked like they were related, but who knows. No effect did not get Notepad++ back until after running it from the command prompt as described by Pete. No it seems fine. ??
