Follow-up: Notepad2
A few months ago I spotlighted a Notepad replacement for Windows called Notepad2. Overall, it’s been great and I still highly recommend it.
But, for even more fun, you can download this version instead, which includes syntax highlighting for Ruby (mmm…Rails) and a Registry entry that lets you open any file in Notepad2 from the right-click menu.
Note: The above link takes you to a mirror site, since the author would rather not host the files.
