Tod1d's Thought Process

I love TextPad, but it is a bit feature rich for what I use it for. Rather than spend $30 to view and edit .txt files, I decided to give Notepad2 a try. Someone on my team recommended it as an alternative to TextPad.

I honestly don't know a lot about Notepad2, but it works well for what I need. More than a couple of steps above the Notepad included with Windows XP, which doesn't even have a "go to line number" feature.

Problem

After uninstalling TextPad, I noticed that the TextPad shortcut was still in the Send To context menu that comes up when you right click a file. I liked the fact that the Send To option was available for just about any file type I right clicked. I also noticed that Notepad2 did not ad itself to the Send To context menu.

Solution

After doing some searching on the web I found the solution at Life Hack. Apparently there is a Send To folder that you can access under C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\SendTo\. You will need to have the "show hidden files and folder" checked, under Tools -> Folder Options -> View.
