I would like to format every opened file in Notepad++ (all files regardless of their extension) to eg. batch or VBS format. Is there a way to achieve that? I've found a setting for formatting new documents, but I want to format opened text files as structured language document.
The reason for that, is that I like visual highlighting data eg. in VBS format when I'm opening my text files, that often includes php code, numeric data etc. and that would help me a lot.

You should [edit] your question and clarify exactly what you want. Do you want to have all files regardless of their extension to have "batch" syntax highlights? The format of an opened already existing file depends on its extension. You cannot change the behaviour of the built in extensions listed in the "Settings" -> "Style Configurator" dialog. – DavidPostill – 2015-08-06T10:52:16.790
