Is there an easy way to get N++ to remember the folder you are working in? Whenever I try to create a new file or open an existing one, it default to the N++ installation folder.
If I use Explorer Lite plugin, then I can open using that, but it doesn't resolve the issue of new files.
I've tried playing with various settings in the preferences, but am still stuck. Any suggestions?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Yep. Got that ticked. Still doesn't work - well it does if I use the folder in that particular session. But if I close Notepad down and start it again, it defaults back to the install directory again.

I don't think this will help. In fact, I don't think there is any solution for this problem when starting Notepad++ without any files (from a previous session) opened.
Well, you could try setting the "Start in" folder of the Notepad++ shortcut, but I'm not so sure Notepad++ itself will like that very much.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Settings | Preferences | Global Tab | [] Remember the last operation directory
gets it working right when you leave a saved file or two in the editor between sessions.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to get it to default to "Normal Text, UTF-8 without BOM" when "Saving As" (works for "new" files, but setting gets lost somehow when you "open" them again).

Preference - Preferences - "Remember the last operation directory"

You must deselect it!
If you deselect Preference - Preferences - "Remember the last operation directory" than Notepad++ will, in oposit, remember the last directory!

This is what I do and it works perfectly.
As someone else suggested last month, UN-checking
Settings | Preferences | Global Tab | [] Remember the last operation directory
gets it working right when you leave a saved file or two in the editor between sessions.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to get it to default to "Normal Text, UTF-8 without BOM" when "Saving As" (works for "new" files, but setting gets lost somehow when you "open" them again).
