I understand Notepad++ allows relative paths, but it would be even easier if the settings file adjusted itself with permanent paths.

It already does that.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I tested it with Firefox and NSIS and neither would load when I switched computers. The shortcuts.xml file still contained the old paths.
It looks like it somehow got left out of the launcher. It's in the todo list for Notepad++ and will be portablized in the next release. I updated this thread's topic to allow for better tracking.
Thanks for catching and reporting it.

Glad to help.
I've added portablization of the shortcuts file to Notepad++ Portable 5.3.

This still doesn't work for me, actually.
It looks like another change killed portablization of many settings, I'll do a revision tomorrow.

This is now properly fixed in 5.3.1. 5.3 had the code in it to fix it but introduced a new bug that caused most settings not to be portablized.
