This can get very frustrating especially when trying to edit the text within the URL as more often than not it triggers clicks that open the targets in a web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that you can disable hyperlinks in Notepad++ by taking the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Open Notepad++ and go to <strong>Settings \\ Preferences\u2026<\/strong><\/li><li>In the Preferences Dialog box, click the <strong>MISC.<\/strong> tab on the left;<\/li><li>Under the Clickable Link Settings section uncheck the <strong>Enable checkbox<\/strong>.
