    What is Notepad++ setting initialization file?

    I move my projects from one computer to another. After downloading Notepad++, I got all blank files without any settings. I want to have the same interface feeling for my new computer as the old computer. Does a setting initialization file for Notepad++ exist, so I don’t have to set all settings.

    Thank you.

      There are a lot of configuration files for Notepad++. You might want to look at this documentation on preferences and see if that helps.

      Most configuration files are found in your application data directory (either the same place where your notepad++.exe lives for a portable installation, or in %AppData%\Roaming\Notepad++ for a normal Program Files installation. Once you know what a config file is for, you can open it up and look through it to see what it’s for. Granted, the “just read the file and see what it does” strategy is probably a lot harder for someone whose first language is not English.

        Thank you. The file is more complex than I repeat to set up a new setting.
