Windows currently opens .plt scripts with "wgnuplot". So lets look at the registry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\gnuplot\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\gnuplot\\bin\\wgnuplot.exe\" -p \"%1\"" I simply changed -p to -persist and now Wgnuplot opens a new window (besides the plot window) when double clicking .plt scripts. I can close the wgnuplot window, so there is no zombie. Shouldn't be -p the same as -persist ?!
