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.

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.
