Tiny Editor

Written in assembly (Masm), Tiny Editor is a featherlight and portable text editor similar to Windows Notepad. It contains standard options and configuration settings that can be tackled with ease by all types of users.

Since there's no installation involved, you can extract the program files to a custom location on the hard disk or copy them to a USB flash drive, and just double-click the .exe to launch Tiny Editor.

It doesn't create new entries in the Windows registry or files on the disk without your approval, or need other software products to work.

The interface is plain and simple. It's possible to undo and redo your actions, resort to a basic search and replace function, insert the current date and time, as well as configure font settings (type, style, size, script).

You can enable word wrapping mode, make the frame stay on top of other windows, ask the utility to save the state on exit, save contents to files with the TXT extension, or hide the toolbar and status bar. Keyboard shortcuts are supported, while multiple instances are allowed.

We haven't encountered any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the utility didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. As we expected, it left a small footprint on system resources consumption, since it needed a low amount of CPU and memory to function normally.

On the other hand, it doesn't have more advanced options for experienced users looking for something more features than Windows Notepad has to offer. We must also take into account that it hasn't been updated for a long time. Nevertheless, you can test Tiny Editor for yourself, since it's free for non-commercial use.
