Hello, @spiikesan and All,
The French text, just above, may be translated into :
I found out that Notepad++ does backups in %appdata%\Notepad++\backups
And, luckily, my file was there ( practically, with the last version )
Thanks for this feature. It has saved my work.
But this bug is, yet, serious :/
So, again , and surely, not the last one, just remember this main rule :
•-----------------------------------------------------------•
| ALWAYS, do BACKUPS of your IMPORTANT work, REGULARLY !! |
•-----------------------------------------------------------•
( In French ) @spiikesan, tu aurais du te rappeler ce sage conseil et tu devrais, dorénavant, le suivre !
To my mind, anyone should do two backups, on two different media, which should be stored in two different places.
I must admit that would be in an ideal world and that I don’t follow, myself, this sensible rule, all the time :-((
BTW, Have you heard about the recent huge cyber-attack, all over the world, on some companies :

Of course, I don’t think that people, like you and me, is aimed by these cyber-attack’s authors, but… ?
Best Regards,

P.S. :
After some searches on NET, I found a very interesting article, from Microsoft, about WannaCrypt attacks :
https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/msrc/2017/05/12/customer-guidance-for-wannacrypt-attacks/
It’s important to point out, in that article, of Phillip Misner, Principal Security Group Manager, at the Microsoft Security Response Center, this particular sentence :
Additionally, we are taking the highly unusual step of providing a security update for all customers to protect Windows platforms that are in custom support only, including Windows XP, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2003.
So, there are, at the end this article, some links to download, either, the English language security update OR the localized language security update ( Microsoft Security bulletin MS17-010 - KB4012598 ) for, either, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, which, normally, do not have Microsoft support, anymore, or for Windows 8.0 !
Last post UPDATE ( 14/05/2017 - 15h04 - French zone ) :
I noticed that, unfortunately, in this article, the download link of the localized security update for Windows XP SP3 x86, wrongly, get the package of the Windows XP Embedded SP3 x86 :-((
So, it’s better to use the Catalogue Microsoft Update site, from the link :
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4012598
You’ll just have to select the right update to download, from the 13 possible choices !
