%APPDATA%\notepad++\config.xml

or perhaps

%APPDATA%\notepad++\session.xml

By the way, if you want to know how I found this out, I fired up Sysinternals ProcMon, set a filter on the ProcessName field to "notepad++.exe", closed Notepad++ and then ProcMon showed me which files had been accessed when I closed it.

This location should work regardless of username or Windows version:

%APPDATA%\Notepad++\session.xml

  • Typing %appdata% into the Windows search will take you to AppData. – Tyler Shellberg Oct 29 '19 at 16:41

  • Good answer, but on my PC %AppData% takes me to C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming` for some reason (instead of just C:\Users\<USER>\AppData) – JohnB Nov 30 '19 at 22:15

As of v7.4.2, If you downloaded the executable (i.e. did not do a windows installation), then it would be in <your_NPP_location>\config.xml
