Where does Notepad++ maintain its list of currently opened files?

Tags:

notepad++

I am using Notepad++ on my Windows machine and by mistake I opened a 64MB file. Now my Notepad++ is stuck permanently and I am not able to use it.

Is there any configuration file which Notepad++ uses to maintain the list of opened files? If yes, then can I open that file and remove the entry of the 64MB file which I have opened in it?
