Where does current Notepad store its settings? How could I distribute settings to new users, eg. by applying a reg file?
It looks like to me that it stores its settings at "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsNotepad_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings\settings.dat", which is some binary format.
Why is registry being abandoned? If it is, why isn't ini or json or a plain text format used? Who are working at Microsoft now, abandoning both the windows ways to approach tasks, and also the other generic sane default approaches?
