      Hi All,

      What’s the way to setup „Default Directory” (Settings->Preference->Current Directory) for each user logged into OS ?

      I know there is option t deliver via configuration file per user but I’m looking for way to overwrite current setting for all users.

      Thanks!

        @Bil-Dos ,

        There is no “override all users” option. If each user has their own login on the computer, and each are running Notepad++ with a “normal installation”, then %AppData%\Notepad++\config.xml (🛈: in this case, probably c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\config.xml) will be separate for each user, and the only way to override that is to edit/overwrite each individual config.xml. In a normal installation, Notepad++ doesn’t have a “central” location for the settings that get stored in the config.xml.

        If you install somewhere other than Program Files and set it to use Local Config (“Don’t use %APPDATA%”), then all users’ config would come from the same config.xml in the installation directory – but that would mean they’d all share all the Settings > Preferences and other such settings in common, which might not be what you want.

        But there is no way to set it so that some settings come from a central location and some come from their individual files
