Notepad is one of the oldest and most basic programs that MS Windows comes installed with. It is a simple text editor for Microsoft Windows and a basic text-editing program which enables computer users to create documents. It has been included in all versions of Microsoft Windows since Windows 1.0 and it looks like it is here to stay for at least just as much. However, as timeless as a program may seem, there is always room for improvement, and there are many alternatives to notepad out there. Notepad Replacer is an easy-to-use tool that does just what its name says: it replaces Notepad with whichever alternative application you find more appealing.

Using this app cannot get any easier since it is designed in a wizard style that is only made up of 3 windows. The first window lets you browse the location of the program you want to use instead of Notepad. The next window work in conjunction with that program's setup process, proceeding to install it on your PC, and the final window is nothing more than a confirmation window.

It doesn't matter which Notepad alternative peaked your interest, be it Notepad++ or Notepad2, as Notepad Replacer will allow you to replace the default Windows version of Notepad with whatever alternative you would like to use. From a technical standpoint, the program does nothing more than redirect Notepad to whichever alternative you chose, similar to how you would change the file path of a common shortcut.

If you're a fan of progress and of the ideology that more is better, then Notepad Replacer, along with whichever Notepad alternative you may choose, is definitely something you should consider using.

What's new in Notepad Replacer 1.6:
