NFOPad

Notepad, the basic text editor that comes with Windows

By its by nature, Notepad, the simple text editor that ships with Windows, is a really basic application. Try NFOPad if you want Notepad's simplicity with a few more capabilities, including support for NFO files. This straightforward application essentially mimics Notepad, but it adds several entertaining and practical features to increase its versatility.

The only real difference between Notepad's and NFOPad's interfaces is that Notepad's Format menu has been swapped out for NFOPad's Settings menu. Apart from the default ASCII fonts for NFO files, the application allows users to adjust the background and text colors, establish auto width parameters, choose tab size, and follow links inside documents, among other features.v NFOPad also has a few extra editing features, including the capability to delete entire lines of text and to change text case. The program doesn't have a Help file per se--there's a Help menu, but it only contains two FAQs--but for the most part NFOPad is self-explanatory; it's very much like using Notepad. Users who aren't familiar with NFO files will need to look elsewhere for information about them, as NFOPad assumes a level of familiarity with them, but the program can still be used as a text editor by users who aren't familiar with NFOs. In the end, NFOPad is a pretty no-frills text editor without a ton of features, but its additional NFO-handling capabilities are sure to please users who need to create software documentation.

NFOPad installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.
