I have been using Notepad++ for a while and I really like the Monokai theme with some custom tweaks to the fonts. But for some reason every time I close NP++ and shut down my computer; the next time I open up my NP++ it has reverted to the original theme. It gets kind of old having to reset my preferred styles every time I come to work.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Whatever formatting is applied (like the highlighting) is not a property of the text, it's the way the editor decides to deal with it. The only thing that you can preserve after saving a file and closing Notepad++ is bookmarks (Ctrl+F2).
Theme XML files are stored in %AppData%\Notepad++\Themes for a normal installation, or in the Themes\ subdirectory of your Notepad++ installation directory if you chose local configuration during installation or if you are using a portable version of Notepad++.
Launch Notepad ++ and head over to Settings > Style Configurator. In the following window, expand the dropdown for Select theme and choose Deep Black. You can customize the app further by changing the overall style of the app, fonts, and colors. Once you are done, click on Save & Close.
It happens because you are not running the program as administrator. On Windows 7, right click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator". Make the changes to the styles, save them as usual and close the program. The changes will be there on the next start.
