i have a problem with notepad++
not only the last version but also older.
i work with php so sometimes i need to open more the one file together and at the same time, just to understand in windows i select multiple file and the i press return.
well the problem is that, for example if i try to open 10 file together, sometimes it opens 5 file some other it opens 1 file and return me always an alert message like this:
"Another istance of Notepad++ is running. Please close other instance of Notepad++ before launching Notepad++ Portable"
then i press ok but np++ lose always the saved setting.

You can't set the Notepad++ within Notepad++ Portable as the Windows default for any files so they open from Explorer. Portable apps don't work this way.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
i set to open only php file coz i work with that
if not can u explain me better what do you mean please?
bye
You can't set Notepad++ itself associated with any files at all. It will set the copy of Notepad++ inside Notepad++ Portable as the associated program. And it won't work right.
If you want to associate it, you have to associated Notepad++Portable.exe with PHP files manually but this isn't recommended or supported. Portable apps are designed to be run from a portable device on multiple PCs, not tied to a single Windows install.

it's what i have done
set notepad++portable.exe to open php
nothing else
well? no solution?
You can't set an association with a portableapp. It causes issues such as yours. I suggest your download and install the regular (Non Portable) Notepad++ and associate your file types to that. Alternatively you could use Cafe Mod as a way of associting your portableapps.
In your case I would suggest the local install of Notepad++
