Solved How to remove tabs from the new notepad?


Go to Settings page in Notepad and click on "Opening files", then select the option "Open in a new window". Now when you click simultaneously on the two text files, they'll open up in separate windows.

Also do the same change for When Notepad starts. That is what was set to Tabs on my laptop.

I realize this is an old thread but the new notepad is causing some issues for some of my end users.

Where can you find the Legacy Notepad?

Thanks!

When I double-click either the notepad.exe that's in Windows or the notepad.exe that's in Windows\System32, it opens the new Notepad, not the classic one. Do I have to make Edwin's registry changes (page 1 of this thread) to get the old one to work, or do I need to unistall Notepad in Programs and Features to access the old version? Something else?

Both the above named .exe files have the old Notepad icon.

I did both, uninstalling first. Best to keep the new one out the way. And the registry change is to remove the restriction MS placed on you accessing the old one with file associations.
