Note++ file location

JE Ramirez

Moving to a new laptop and would like to take all my Note++ files. Can someone provide the path address where these files would be located on my old laptop?

Thanks,

Note++ file location

The application is called Notepad++.

would like to take all my Note++ files. Can someone provide the path address where these files would be located on my old laptop?

That depends on which files you mean.

If you mean the text files you edit in Notepad++, of course we cannot. Only you can know where you save all your files.
- If you have never saved any files, and all your tabs are just called new 1 through new 999, and are just relying on session snapshot’s periodic backup, then those temporary files are likely in %AppData%\Notepad++\backup. If that is the case, you will want to read our backup FAQ before you set up Notepad++ on the new laptop. But i recommend saving all those files to a known location first, and then copy the reasonably-named files from the old machine to the new.
If you mean the configuration files for Notepad++: assuming a normal installation, they are in %AppData%\Notepad++\ and the subdirectories

@PeterJones, thanks. Of course, it’s Notepad++, a little too fast with the typing and posting of the question.

Thanks for the paths.
