May I note that an IDE is not exactly a "notepad replacement"? OTOH, I keep lots of text editors around, just in case -- the last I checked, there was over half a Gig of them...
EDIT: After finding
AkelPad settings stowing away in the registry, it seems that this notepad replacement procedure has the evident downside (at least in
AkelPad's case) of preventing the app from being fully portable. Funnily, those settings are virtually indistinguishable from the ones set in akelpad.ini -- it might be the case that it starts
AkelPad with the ini settings and they get written to the registry afterwards; is anyone able to detail what gets read or written?
