Notepad X
Frazier Barretto, Nov 18, 2007 1000 hrs IST
Bored of your regular Notepad? Check this out.
Tabbed Interface, Rich Text Editor, BB Code, Insert Images.
Requires .NET Framework 2.0, Alpha release.
Notepad needs no introduction. It is a standard, very basic, and light word processor included in Windows OS. The other day I was just typing out some notes in Notepad and wished it was able to deliver just a little bit more. Obviously, I wasn't looking for fancy accessories, else I'd just go ahead and use Microsoft Word. So I googled for a Notepad alternative and came across many, but Notepad X was the one that caught my attention.
Installation
Notepad X is a freeware available on the Internet for download. The setup size is small (around 400KB) and doesn't take too long to download, however poor your Internet connection is. Post which, the installation process is very simple.
Notepad X requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to be run, so considering that you have your Windows updated, I'll move on from here to talk about the features that this Notepad alternative has to offer.
If you don't have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 click here to help yourself. Just for your information, it's a 22.4MB setup.

I must say, Notepad++ is much more flexible and even has support for a number of programming languages and its open source. But, the Best feature of all is that its really light weight and does not rely on the .Net framework

I too agree with this. Notepad++ is the better alternative to Notepad

Why would you look for anything else when you have Notpad++? Its open source and has so many features that you will love it at first sight. http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net

I believe the prerequisite of .NET Framework 2.0 shouldn't be considered as a disadvantage... There are numerous softwares out there which run on the .NET Framework and so is with Java Run Environment. It makes no sense to consider that as a negative point.

NoteTab Light is a much better freeware which has multiple tabs with easy movement between them, Regular Expression usage in searches across all open documents, programmable clips etc.

What you're reviewing at is a replacement for Wordpad, not Notepad. That's like comparing apples and oranges. If you want a true replacement for notepad, you can't beat metapad from http://www.liquidninja.com/metapad/

Notepad rocks because of its minimalism. So if you talk about a 'replacement' you can hardly pass off a multiwindowed rich text supporting editor that requires installation and .NET as one. The best notepad replacement I've seen is Notepad2- Available at http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html This does not require any installation is just one EXE, and it supports syntax coloring among its features. (It's not multiwindow)
