I really wish it had a spell check feature. If it did, I would replace all of my text editors with this one. It is fast, stable, and has a small footprint.

Programmer's Notepad is unfortunately not stealth: |
BDV Notepad is a plain text editor with support for themes, unlimited file size, multi-level undo/redo, autosaving, URL-autodetection, lines sorting, case changes, extended find-and-replace options, and more. Intended as a Windows Notepad replacement.

Unicode support: | Partial. Although the program claims Unicode support, I was unable to get it to display Unicode characters (even with the right font selected), or to save to a file with Unicode characters in its name. |

Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch Notepad.exe. Optionally, delete unnecessary language files. |

I tried it, but the "unlimited file size" feature wasn't proved: with a 4GB file, apart from its opening slowness, a popup message informed that the file could not be opened. |
NFOPad is a small, fast and flexible combined text editor and NFO viewer. Modeled from Notepad, the program includes customization and an ASCII art viewer. The file extension is used to determine whether to use an ANSI or ASCII font.

IMHO, currently the best .nfo and .diz file viewer coupled with a pretty decent text editor; NFOPad can save its settings to the registry or in an INI file.

Totally agree with Midas that this is the best .nfo / .diz viewer out there. Been using it for several years. Keep up the great work and THANKS! |
GetDiz is a fast, easy, and small text editor designed to replace Notepad. It has enhanced functionality with DIZ and NFO files, will display ASCII art correctly, and can save as GIF images.

NOTE: This project is outdated and may be insecure or incompatible with more recent versions of GPG.
---
gpg4usb is a basic, tabbed notepad tool with easy-to-use text and file encryption tools. Using the Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) security system means you can exchange encrypted text and files with someone you've never met, where most programs require a communicated password. Additionally, users can digitally "sign" and verify information to help establish integrity, ownership, or agreement.
Users need only exchange a "public key" with one another in order to communicate. New users will need to generate a key, while users of other compatible software can import their existing keys.
Functional in Linux (see How to Extract). GPG is a compatible, open source alternative to the former commercial corporation PGP.

Text 2 Folders creates folders based on list written in a text file. This contrasts the normal method for creating multiple folders, which is clicking "New Folder" repeatedly and then renaming the individual folders. Just create text document in Windows Notepad or other text program and save it, then run the program to generate folders. Separate folder names by putting them on a separate lines in the text file. For example a text file with the following text:

@granny Are you sure FreeCommander can do this? I know it can create nested folders separated with a slash, but how can it create peer folders? FreeCommander XE supports | to separate folders like TotalCommander, but plain FreeCommander doesn't. |

ExtMan (extension manager) manages the behavior of your computer when you launch or double-click on a file. This lets you open a text file in Notepad or you program of choice
The software can view, edit, create, and remove actions, as well as change the associated icons. You can also control if the file extension will be hidden/shown by default and whether a confirmation will be required to open it after download.
You can also choose the default action when multiple options available, the others appearing when you right-click and choose "Open With".
Backups of the registry entries to create these changes are available for one or multiple file extensions.
NOTE: Website is offline, linking to a user-provided mirror.

This program has my favorite password generator function, creating alternately the most random looking passwords or, using the "pronoucable" feature some legitimately easy to remember (yet still strong) passwords. |
