Well, my goal is not to change editors.
Anyway, I figured it out. Notepade++ is a tabbed editor. So, when it was already opened I had the problem. There is a command line switch to tell it to open a new instance. When I added that it all started working. I don't even need the batch file. Thanks for your help.
For others than may want to do this here is the final editor-cmd in my config file:
editor-cmd = "/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe" -nosession -multiInst
