Check the X and/or Y positions in the config.xml file. Look for a line starting with the following:
<GUIConfig name="AppPosition"
Using a different editor like regular Notepad, set x="0" and y="0" on that line, then save the file. This will set the default Notepad++ window upper left corner to be the same as the screen.
Alternatively, you can click on the taskbar icon, select "Move", and attempt to bring it back onto the screen by pressing the arrow keys. I don't recommend this because you don't know where the window actually is -- unless you were using multiple monitors and went back to a single monitor... --Joel

Hi,
i got a problem since quite an old version. It is now the moment to report !
Sometimes, for an unfound reason, my windows disappear. I can find it again only if i do maximize the windows.
The min/max button works but the restore does not !
i cant use NP++ but in maximized windows !
I once managed to solve the problem by uninstalling/removing all xml files and reg entries. The problem appeared again after another installation.
if i found the reason that causes this, i'll drop a msg !

ok, working with arrows !
but should really NP's windows disappear?
if fact the size is damn to small in my case !
