      Files I’m looking for include:

      1. Preferences
      2. Style Configurations
      3. User defined languages

        @Luis-Piña-III ,

        Did you read the User Manual page on Config Files, which includes a section on Config File location? If not, I suggest you start there. But the essential answer is “it depends on your current Notepad++ settings where the files are”, though they are normally in %AppData%\Notepad++.

          @Luis-Piña-III: once you have located the directory that @PeterJones referenced, you will see the following files:

          • shortcuts.xml
          • stylers.xml
          • config.xml

          There is also a folder named userDefineLangs that contains .xml files for each UDL that you have created.

          These are likely the files that you want to copy over; they are among the NP++ files that I have backups of on a network drive, which I mainly use for VM setups (including Linux VMs). However, as Peter alluded to, there might be other files that store other customizations that you may have forgotten about.
