For folks who cannot do this due to it being a work-controlled machine or otherwise, you can use notepad++. (Obviously id rather this be a tipping point to ditch all the junk at once, but sometimes that isnt feasible)

That said, i find i still need a throwaway notepad for fast trashy notes. In that case ive just uninstalled the new notepad and re-downloaded the legacy notepad then re-aimed "notepad.exe" to the legacy one.

There are a few guides out there, just search your standard "how to get legacy notepad"

My sibling in Talos, what do you think the tabs in N++ are for?

I have >100 tabs in my N++ install because it's so easy to throw some trash note in there forget about it, then be able to search all open docs for some random keyword I threw in there.

Yeah you don't even need to save every new tab that you have random stuff noted down in. They've recently added a new feature to pin tabs as well, so I'm actually considering just making a notes.txt file somewhere and pinning that instead of all the new tabs I end up with.

Interesting. I saw the icon, but I've never bothered to look into what it was for/how it worked. Thanks for giving me something to look into!
