Control
files
The
startup behavior of Notepad++ can be adjusted with a few (0 sized)
control files. Their absence or presence will control how Notepad++
acts:
- doLocalConf.xml
– If present, Notepad++ will use the installation directory for all
configurations. If abscent,
%APPDATA% is used instead.
- asNotepad.xml
– If present, Notepad++ will act as Windows Notepad, meaning it
will launch in multiple instances, hides the tab bar and will
not load the previous session.
