Notepad 2 vs Notepad ++

[hjpotter92]

Which one is better? Please tell me. Both of them are almost the same, but NotePad 2 is light in size.

Notepad++ on the other hand is present there when I right click a file.

Also, tell me a method to replace default notepad in windows with something else i.e. whichever is the best in above two.

I prefer Notepad2.
Notepad++ is too bloated for my taste.

Simple rename Notepad2.exe to Notepad.exe and replace the default Notepad.exe

 

[hjpotter92]

Nope, that process didn't help. The original Notepad.exe replace mine.

Thanks Cute.

EDIT: I am assuming that both of you also vote for Notepad 2?
