Running Notepad++ 4.01. I was running this system using Windows XP Pro with dual monitors on an Nvidia graphics card. The Nvidia driver was set up for Dual-View. Basically my Task Bar was on the Left monitor however the desktop extended onto the Right screen. I had NotePad++ opening by default(and sized) on the Right screen. I moved this computer to a new location that only utilized a single monitor. Now when I open NotePad++ it opens ok however the window is not in view. I can see it running in the Task Bar but cannot find a way to get it to open on the single monitor display other than Maximized. I can select Size or Move from the Task Bar however nothing happens. If I select Maximize I can get it to display but only Maximized. If I select the Restore Down button in the top right corner it moves off the Desktop.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It's a known problem, but I don't know if they can directly fix it.
The workaround I use is: Right-click on the taskbar icon for Notepad++, and select "Move". Then use the left arrow key (or right arrow key, if the 2nd monitor was originally on the left) to move the window onto the screen. Finally, click the left mouse button or press the Enter key to end the move operation.
Another thing you can do in this case is open the "config.xml" file (either in the Notepad++ install directory or in %APPDATA%/Notepad++) in regular Notepad, change the AppPosition's "x" value to "0", and save. Re-open Notepad++ and it will be left-justified on your primary screen. --Joel
