The Notepad++ tab bar keeps hiding

Is there a way to always force the tab bar to show? I go to Settings → Preferences → General → Tab Bar and uncheck hide, but the next time I open Notepad++, the tab bar is gone, even if I drag multiple files into the window.

don't see the issue fixed even now (v6.6.9). – gp. – 2014-12-17T03:01:30.057

What version are you using? I'm using 5.9.6.2 and I haven't this issue. – Ignacio Soler Garcia – 2012-03-19T16:49:07.033

I'm using the latest as of 2012-03-19... version 5.9.8 – Phillip – 2012-03-19T16:51:06.313

Turns out this happens when I place the file asNotepad.xml into the Notepad++ executable directory. I'd like to be able to show the tab bar in Notepad++ when dragging multiple files into a Notepad++ window. But I would also like to open a new Notepad++ instance when double-clicking a file from Explorer. – Phillip – 2012-03-19T16:52:31.897

i have the same problem. whenever i started notepad++ with -notabbar, the next regular launch has the tabbar missing. ok, just found this: http://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/bugs/4288/, known bug.

Open notepad++ with Run as Administirator and uncheck hide again, and restart notepad++ . The problem should be solved.

1Unfortunately, other configurations can be saved but that one specific with tab bar is reset each time the program is started. – versedi – 2015-07-15T10:18:02.967
