In a portable installation, the configuration files all go in the same directory as the notepad .exe executable, and there is no per-user configuration location. When Notepad is looking for shortcuts, stylers and themes, function list definitions, and user defined language definitions, it will try to read from the per-user directory if the right file isn’t found there, then it will check machine-wide configuration files. (For a refresher course on %AppData%, see the Community Forum FAQ’s %AppData% entry.) The machine-wide configuration files go in the executable directory (so usually c:\program files\notepad \). In a standard installation, the per-user configuration files go in %AppData%\Notepad \. So if you open up the configuration file after you have changed the preference but before you have exited Notepad , you will not see that change reflected in the file yet. ![]() But this also means that, when you make a change using Notepad menus and dialogs (like changing a preference, or saving a macro), your change will not be written to the configuration file until Notepad exits. ![]() Please note that Notepad writes the configuration files when it exits, which is why the Editing Configuration Files section below says that Notepad may overwrite your changes.
