If Notepad++ crashes, and no data remains then
Press Start+R
Then Paste: %AppData%/Notepad++/backup

From a discussion at Sourceforge:
Try finding the recovery folder of Notepad++. On my XP machine, it is at
C:\Documents and Settings\<user account name>\Local Settings\Temp\N++RECOV
The path may start differently in other versions of Windows.

Might be possible with just Windows 7.
Right-click to the file you want to restore and select "Restore previous versions". Not sure about configuration files, but worked perfectly with html and css files (promised myself this will never happen again :)
PS. my original files were 3 days old and were saved as part of system restore point.
