TED Notepad is a growing freeware editor for true plain-text. It looks like a small Notepad, but is more and more fertile in innovative features, text-processing functions and other tools. All of them on hotkeys; all designed for quicker and advanced editing. The light-weight portable application fits on USB drive and loads instantly with no installation required. TED Notepad is designed especially for daily writing of notes, lists, scripts and html files.

Get ready for a simple text editor, yet full of new features and text tools - you will never learn them all. Don't type, ted it!

Some of us are stuck on windows... so lets replace the crappy MS tools with software we can use... Like TED...

Give it a shot... What do you use to edit files in XP?

i've been using notepad++ for a while now and really like it. tabbed files, great for scripts, automatic coloring for scripting, all the best features you could think of, plugins, and best of all it's free. check this one out and you will likely not use any other. look here for notepad++
