I hope there is a way to do this. I want to be able to have Notepad++ create a blank document when it is started and an instance already exists, not just display the currently open document. Is there a command line switch or other technique I can use. I could write a wrapper that starts it with the command line for a file name that I randomly generate. However, this would have two problems, it still asks if I want to create the document (requires a extra click) and I might not actually want the document to be written to disk. I need this feature to replace Notepad with a mutli-tab Notepad++.
Thanks.

There may be a way, but I use a workaround: Edit an existing Blank.txt (always empty) and then use "Save As..." --Joel
