Hello,
does anybody know where the settings are saved, I want to backup them plus I want to use the old settings for the new version I've just downloaded, it seems all this is undocumented. I would love the application to ask on the very first start where the settings should be saved because I prefer a custom location.
thx

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It has a checkbox on the installer that allows one to choose whether to save settings in the %APPDATA%\Notepad++ directory or not. If not, it saves to the directory where it was installed. The default for that is "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\", I think.
%APPDATA% will vary depending on the user and OS. On Windows XP it's "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data". --Joel
