How can I set autoreload modified files in notepad++? The confirmation step is annoying, and in some situations completely unnecesary.

You can disable the confirmation in the settings:

Settings -> Preferences -> MISC -> Update silently

Read the documentation for more information.

That's one badly named setting ... – sakra Dec 4 '12 at 12:57
Note that as of v6.3, "Update silently" only updates the file when its tab receives focus. Search functionality therefore accesses the old buffer and might show inaccurate results. – Timbo Mar 22 at 0:30

There is a nice plugin called Document monitor (Can be found and installed from the Plugins => Plugin Manager => show Plugin Manager menu),

It updates the opened files every 3 seconds. Together with the option to "scroll to last line after update", it will have the ability to "tail" a log file as wanted.

After the plugin installation don't forget to activate it by clicking:

Plugins => Document monitor => start to monitor
