Is it possible to make Notepad++ close all open tabs when it is shut down?
Currently when a new file is opened with Notepad++ all previously open tabs (and of course the files open in those tabs) are reopened.

1Excellent, thank you! I knew that this had to be possible, but for somereason never thought to get under MISC. Now to decide if I actually want to change the behaviour... Jul 22, 2009 at 3:21

28I can never decide which I want either. I need a program which reads my mind and only shows the previous session if I plan to work on those files. :) Jul 22, 2009 at 3:23

3An interesting option would be to have it remember the session if you hold down a modifier key while closing the program or something. Or, like Firefox can, just prompt you when you close it.– jtbandesJul 22, 2009 at 4:04

5This option has moved since this answer was written. See user321756's answer for the new location.– dlfOct 23, 2014 at 18:54
As an update for anyone that was looking for the answer to this as I was, the latest version of Notepad++ (v. 6.6.1) has this option under:
Settings → Preferences → Backup → Check "Remember current session for next launch"

2The OP wanted this option OFF, not ON. This answer is incorrect, it should be "Uncheck", which makes it a duplicate of the accepted answer. Aug 6, 2020 at 18:39
In latest version uncheck
Settings > Preferences > MISC. > Remember the current session for next launch
