        Yep.

            Yes.

            That’s a rather strange question. I can see two obvious interpretations:

            1. If you mean “is the binary executable notepad++.exe encrypted”: No, the binary executable is not encrypted per se, just compiled, like other applications that run on Windows.

            2. If you mean “does Notepad++ encrypt the text files or source code I edit and save”: Not natively. However, the NppCrypt plugin exists to facilitate encryption of your edited text.
