Hi Chris I found these folders on my PC:

c:\Program Files (x86)\LovettSoftware\XmlNotepad\ c:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Programs\XmlNotepad\ c:\Users\mynamel\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Xml Notepad\

Not very important, but is the last folder - name with blank, subfolder from Microsoft - the "best of all possible solutions"? Or can it be moved to a "XmlNotepad" folder?

Edit: There is also a blank in the folder, but not in the filename: %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Xml Notepad\XmlNotepad.settings

Yeah I can probably remove the space, the problem is then I'd need to migrate your settings over from the old location. I don't recognize the "c:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Programs\XmlNotepad" path, I wonder if that's a left over from an old version, what is in that folder?

Pierre-de-la-Verre commented 2 months ago

In

c:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\XmlNotepad

there is

names.txt stats.cmd XmlStats.exe

Ah, yes, that one is in "Programs" because I'm installing a program (xmlstats.exe) so it is not just user data.
