windows version 24H2 (OS Build 26200.8655
Very new to W11 and I was using notepad as usual. I then realised that the new version was tabbed. OK as far as it goes and I have found the setting and gone back to each new file in a new window. Good. But in the background my earlier tabs can still be seen. with contents.

How can I clear these away and just have a good old-fashioned notepad?

Thanks for any comments

You may also just want to take a look at the settings for the new notepad to make it behave more like the old version...
