Notepad++ suddenly stopped opening 08-07-2011, 04:31 PM
#1
Hi, I was using notepad++ like I normally do, then I accidentally dragged the file I was working on onto the notepad++ icon in the taskbar, then the window disappeared and no longer appeared, so I closed it with right click.
If I open it I see the minimized icon and it's running according to the task manager but it doesn't open so I can use it, what the hell is this?

Does task manager show that only the process is running or is there also window open somewhere (does it show both on applications and processes or just only the processes?).
There might be various problems, for example the window got somehow dragged/moved outside the screen, so you can't see it (that is, in case the window exists according to the Task Manager). In that case, open it, right-click on the icon on the task-bar, select Move and then press a cursor key, to activate the moving (mouse cursor should jump on the window outside the screen). Then drag your mouse, the window should follow.

Fixed, it somehow got minimized behind the taskbar, so I just had to unlock and drag it somewhere else.
Never happened to me before, weird.
