- `cloud\choice` file: If this folder and file are present, the file contains the path to the [Cloud folder](../preferences/#cloud-link). This config file is created when you define the Cloud preferences. If you are in a normal installation, this config file will be `%AppData%\Notepad++\cloud\choice`; if it is deleted from there, Notepad++ will _not_ look for `<installdir>\cloud\choice`. If you are in a portable / local configuration (`doLocalConf.xml` exists), it will be in `<portable>\cloud\choice`.

- `disableLineCopyCutDelete.xml`: This is a zero-byte file that is used as an indicator to Notepad++ to not enable the [context-aware "line copy / cut / delete"](../editing/#context-awareness) feature in v8.6.1. This file needs to be in `%AppData%\Notepad++\` for a normal installation and in the portable directory for a local configuration. The only version of Notepad++ to pay attention to this file is v8.6.1; in earlier or later versions, this file is ignored and meaningless.

The only version of Notepad++ to pay attention to this file is v8.6.1; in earlier or later versions, this file is ignored and meaningless. (It was added because v8.6 had some strange behavior with the context-aware Cut/Copy/Paste, so v8.6.1 added a workaround for that difficulty by allowing users who had problems with it to disable the context-aware actions. However, v8.6.2 fixed the underlying bug, so this workaround was no longer necessary and hence removed.)

- `doLocalConf.xml`: This is a zero-byte file that is used as an indicator to `notepad++.exe` to not go looking for `%AppData%`. This will only exist on local installations of Notepad++ (when you tell the installer to not use `%AppData%`, or when you install from the zipfile, or when you manually create the zero-byte file). This config file _must_ go in the Notepad++ installation folder; it will not be recognized in the `%AppData%\Notepad++` hierarchy or in the cloud settings folder.
