Notepad++ opens out of a monitor

Switching between mutliple sets of multiple monitors I caused Notepad++ to get confused.
Now when I open it the application opens out of both monitors I use.

Changing registry values like suggested here was a quick fix which worked:


The default position for Windows Notepad is stored in this Registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Notepad

Close all open Notepad windows and change the following values as shown:
iWindowPosX : 0
iWindowPosY : 0
iWindowPosDX : 200
iWindowPosDY: 200

This would set default position to top-left. You can resize and position Notepad window later as you wish.
