    Corrupted Session Starting in Notepad++ v8.6.5, it will store session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak next to session.xml, and will automatically use that if session.xml is corrupted. However, if you ever find that you open Notepad++ (especially after an update or a system crash) and find that the files opened weren’t in the same state as when you let them, you can try this procedure: Exit Notepad++ Windows Explorer, go to %AppData%\Notepad++ (or in your appropriate config-file location if you aren’t using AppData for config) Rename session.xml to session.xml--keep Copy session.xml.inCaseOfCorruption.bak to session.xml Run Notepad++ → If it’s now showing the right copy of your files, great! If not, exit Notepad++, delete session.xml, and rename session.xml--keep back to session.xml .

    when i look in the changelog at vulnerabilities that don’t have a CVE yet, there are linked descriptions (advisories), which is great, but no linked fix/issue, so I can’t see how the code was updated is there some intentional delay or can I access things in a different way. thanks for the amazing support

    @jhgarrison said: I’ve never been able to figure out where they live. For Notepad++, they are in the NppShell.dll. Hence my pointing to the NppShell issue. The two links I provided explain that, because the Publisher field in the AppManifest changed, Windows hashes them different, and Windows doesn’t remove the “old” if the hashes don’t match (so one app doesn’t delete another app’s context menu entries). Explanation: Windows wanted signed DLLs to control such things, rather than any apps that can figure out how to write to the HKCU in the registry being able to manipulate what apps the user accesses through the normal right click context menu. Thus, those hooks now reside in the DLL, not in the registry, so you cannot find those hooks by searching the registry.

    That’s a clever little experiment! I never really thought about using regular expressions to represent mathematical patterns like multiples of 3, but it makes sense when you look at the binary sequence. Definitely a fun way to explore just how powerful regex can be beyond ordinary text searching.
