Notepad

Notepad is a closed-source text editor developed and published by Microsoft corp. Notepad is included in all versions of Windows. Notepad is started by default when the user opens a .txt file.

Since the release, Notepad has been used by many for programming. Later on, Notepad++ was released on sourceforge.net which was base on Notepad but added syntax highlighting for various programming languages. Most programmers got Notepad++ because of that feature.
