title: How to edit preference file for Notepad++?
body: <p>My open source project uses spaces, not tabs, in its code.</p>
  
  <p>A contributor to the project has his own website which uses tabs, not spaces.</p>
  
  <p>He uses Notepad++ in Windows to edit files for both projects, and is frustrated when he forgets to manually set the Preferences correctly and thus inserts tabs into my project's files.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is there a way to edit this Preference via a script</strong>?  That way he could click one icon to start Notepad++ in mode 1 (running a batch script to modify the Preferences file and then start the program) or click another to start in mode 2.</p>
  
  <p>Or if there's any other way to make him not have to remember this chore, that would work too.  Maybe having a Preferences setting that depends on what folder the edited file is inside of?</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!</p>
