In this case the program will resort to using the %appdata%\Notepad location to store profile unique configuration data. So if I were to support an “installer” version and a “portable” version I would include some smarts in the code so that if either (given it’s the same code in both it really means both) is located within the appropriate “Program Files” folder that means it was “installed” (OK installed or located will result in the same response from the program). I would not want to have to support 2 different versions of the same program (圆4/x86 aside). Well, going out on a limb here as I don’t know the intent of the developers but… What’s the difference now with using the installer? If that says OFF, then you don’t have the doLocalConfig.xml, so you aren’t in portable mode said in Installer vs. You can look in the ? > Debug Info, and it will say Local Conf Mode: ON if it’s in portable / local configuration mode if so, the settings it is using are in the local folder, not in the user profile. (I cannot think of any other way it could have happened.) If this is not working for you, then either you have deleted the doLocalConf.xml file from the portable folder, or you have set the Cloud folder or the new -settingsDir command line option set to point to your AppData folder. If there were a bug in the implementation of portable/local configuration mode, I would have seen it by now.) (Literally, I use the portable every day I am at work and just about any time I run an experiment to help someone in the forum, I unzip a fresh portable of the appropriate version, so that I don’t mess with my normal configuration. The zipfile has the doLocalConf.xml included, and that’s what tells Notepad to use the local folder for settings instead of AppData. I have been using the portable on Windows 10 for years now, from old versions through the newest v8.1.1, and straight out of the zipfile, it always uses the portable folder for settings, not the user profile. Since now Notepad portable on WIndows 10 places the config files in the user profile folder…
