# Loading sessions

To load a session, simply go to File->Load Session. Then select any session you like and it will open the files contained in it, and restore their state.

If you have set a default session extension (for example, .session) for Notepad++, you can also open a session using the regular means to open a file. If the file has the extension for a session, Notepad++ will attempt to load it (see also the section for Preferences

Depending on whether you have set a default extension for session files, you can filter for those files in the Load Session dialog. While it is useful to do so, be sure not to choose .xml for this purpose!
