Notepad++ won't save my custom settings. After changing a setting then exiting notepad++, an error sound is played.
Procedure:
1. Load notepad++.
2. Change a setting.
3. Close notepad++.
What should happen:
notepad++ should save my settings, and exit cleanly.
What actually happens:
notepad++ doesn't save my settings. It exits with an error sound.
Additional Info:
If I load notepad++ and then exit immediately without doing anything, notepad++ exits without playing the error sound.
I have notepad++ save the settings to my personal \application data\ directory.
My system is configured so that "Documents and Settings" defaults to "E:\Documents and Settings", and "Program Files" defaults to "D:\Program Files".
Notepad++ has worked flawlessly in the config department in the past.
The problem started occurring after I upgraded from the v4.x.x series. I had missed some of the updates, so I don't know which version started exhibiting the problem.
Any help is appreciated.

Vista hates it when someone tries to access a Document and Settings folder. Try moving your config files to D:\Program files\Noteoad++\, and add a zero byte doLocalConf.xml file there. Should work.

Hello cchris!
I tried moving my config files and creating that zero-byte file, but it didn't solve the problem.
I downloaded NPP v5.5, and the problem is gone. Must have been a bug.
Thanks again!
