The above is one of the solution.
Another solution for examole

If you place test.m in C:\oct\mfiles,

octave-3.2.4.exe:1> cd ans =
octave-3.2.4.exe:2> pwd
ans = C:\oct\mfiles
octave-3.2.4.exe:3> test

The above works without problem for me.

NotePad++ is just a text editor and no relation to m file execution.
(If you set properly some settingd, you can execute octave m file with batch 
mode from Notepad++. 
However I recommend you to try after you have enough knowledge for windows 
environments or try it with
those who are power user octave for windows.)

If you want edit test.m

octave-3.2.4.exe:4>edit test.m



cd
