[windows] Aliases in Windows command prompt

You need to pass the parameters, try this:

doskey np=notepad++.exe $*

Edit (responding to Romonov's comment) Q: Is there any way I can make the command prompt remember so I don't have to run this each time I open a new command prompt?

People that use doskey to setup their initial command shell environments typically use the /K option (often via a shortcut) to run a batch file which does all the common setup (like- set window's title, colors, etc).

cmd.exe /K env.cmd

env.cmd:

title "Foo Bar"
doskey np=notepad++.exe $*
...
