It's a bug filed against notepad++, not octave
see

sorry for omitting the obvious link in the first place.

I don't really know of a native windows environment (and frankly I had never 
eagerly searched for one, so I might simply be ignorant of one).

Regarding text editors, there is a huge variety from small&simple like SciTE to 
verbose ones like emacs. Google is your friend here. Choose what you like. 
In octave, you can switch the text editor using the EDITOR() function.
Use single-quotes for the path to allow a native windows path with backslashes

   EDITOR('c:\my\favorite\text\editor.exe');
