Notepad++ crashed on open

    I open an XML document and it crashed Notepad++. Because Notepad++ defaulted to save current session on next open, any subsequent attempt to open Notepad++ would crash it because it'll try to open that same XML doc. I know there's a temp file somewhere that need to be removed. I just not sure which one. Can someone help me with this?

    thanks

      In the Notepad++ data directory there is a file session.xml. You could try to remove the file if it is there, although I think it's strange N++ would save the session with that file if it crashes before even opening correctly and functioning.

      You data directory may simply be the installation folder, usually C:\Program Files\Notepad++.

      I've also experienced this problem. However i can't remember which files i had in my sessions, but there may have been an open XML file. i deleted my session.xml (in C:\User\<username\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++) and notepad++ opened fine. Im using version 4.5 on Vista Business.
