    Windows notepad is simple & good but it misses a few Vital things.
    Notepad2 has all of them and its V.light.+Free
    I needed it cause of drag and drop which is not in notepad.

    In preferences you can simplify it to the Windows Notepad interface.

    "What's this?
    The original Notepad shipped with Windows is probably the handiest program of all times, small, fast, without frills! Notepad2 tries to follow this principle, it's a small, fast and free text editor with syntax highlighting for HTML and other common languages.

    Features
    • Customizable syntax highlighting:
    • • HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, PHP, CSS, Perl/CGI
    • • C/C++, C#, Java, VB, Pascal, Assembler, SQL, Python, NSIS
    • • INI, REG, INF, BAT, DIFF
    • Drag & drop text editing inside and outside Notepad2
    • Basic regular expression search and replace
    • Useful word, line and block editing shortcuts
    • Rectangular selection (Alt+Mouse)
    • Brace matching, auto indent, long line marker, zoom functions
    • Support for Unicode, UTF-8, Unix and Mac text files
    • Open shell links
    • Mostly adjustable

    New in Notepad2 1.0.09
    • Insert time/date (short form/long form) (Ctrl+F5, Ctrl+Shift+F5)
    • Insert filename/path and filename (Ctrl+F9, Ctrl+Shift+F9)
    • Added missing copy line command (Ctrl+Shift+C)"

    Simple

    I have it, but haven't tried it yet. I've been using EditPadLite, lately. Gotta love the tabs.

    Well, if you want to use a programmer&#39;s editor, SCiTE is pretty good.

    Hey, but what is really cool about a self-contained editor like Notepad2, you can hack the file of an windows installation CD where notepad is stored (NOTEPAD.EX_)and replace notepad before you install Windows. I&#39;m gonna do that on my next format, which is coming soon anyway.
