Recently, (Half an hour ago) I downloaded Notepad++ to code in rather than IDLE.

Just to see if everything works out I created this simple program to test

def test():
    print("hello")

test()

I ran it, and then a window opened up and closed instantly.

Assuming the answer to the problem I had was located here: How to Execute a Python File in Notepad ++? I followed the instructions, I tried it and it didn't work. Then I copied the file path with shift-RBM instead for what was on the page and still comes up with an error message as before: 

The system cannot find the file specified.
An attempt was made to execute the below command.
-------------------------------------------------
Command: C:\Users\----\Desktop\Python
Arguments: 3.5\Python 3.5 (32-bit).Ink
"C:\Users\----\Desktop\test.py" -i
Error Code: 2
-------------------------------------------------

After this I came here and asked this question. Sorry if the answer is said elsewhere or is obvious.

Looks like you have space in some folder names.

To fix this you need to use " before and after the path to python.

Example:

"C:\Users\----\Desktop\Python 3.5\Python 3.5 (32-bit).Ink" "C:\Users\----\Desktop\test.py" -i
