Replace Notepad with a more capable alternative

Notepad is a simple and convenient tool that many of us use, especially copying, pasting, editing text documents and webpage code. It's such a small application it enables you to open it up and edit documents with minimal effort. The trouble is, although it's useful for performing basic tasks, when it comes to anything more challenging, Notepad does lack useful features which is evident when viewing programming code.

Notepad++ 5 is a more feature rich alternative to Notepad that ships with many useful tools and features such as a file browser, spell checker and a function list as well as colour coding. You can even use it to completely replace the standard Notepad.
