    I often use dual monitors on my laptop and I often open N++ on my 2nd montior. The problem is when I close N++ on the 2nd monitor, it saves the last AppPosition in Config.xml.  This is all fine and dandy, but if I revert back to using 1 monitor, the next time I open N++, it opens up in the now-non-existing 2nd monitor and becomes hidden.

    To fix this, I would have to edit the X value in the config.xml file.

    On startup, can N++ check the last X/Y position in the config.xml file against the Windows resolution so it will always show?

    Thanks

      I am having a similar problem except that I can't fix my like the person above can.  I've tried reseting the x and y values of the GUIConfig name="AppPosition" setting in the config.xml file - no go (do I need to log off or reboot for these changes to take effect?, am I modifying the right parameters?).  I've uninstalled and re-installed - no go (something must hang around after the uninstall).

      I use N++ A LOT everyday.  <b>PLEASE SEND HELP!</b>

      Thanks,

        You can fix this by uninstalling notepad++ and re-installing it again.
        I had the same issue as well, and I disconnected my 2nd monitor expecting all the windows to return to the 1st monitor and notepad++ did not do that.

      Did you modify the parameters in the Notepad++ install directory, or in the Application Data/Notepad++ directory.  When you actually run the program, you need to modify the files in application data, as they are the ones used to actually run the configuration each time (or delete those files, and it will copy the ones from the install folder).

      This may solve your problem.

      I run into this problem quite often, so a fix would be welcome.  In the meantime, here is another (easier) workaround:

      1) Open Notepad++.
      2) Right-click icon on taskbar and select Move.  The move cursor will appear, but you won't be able to see it because it's off-screen.
      3) Use the left keypad key to move the app back onto the current desktop.
