Notepad's "text copy" behaviour

Hello!

In Windows XP, if I had a web link saved in a text form in Notepad and wanted to mark it and then copy into a web browser it was very easy: double-click, copy, paste and it's done.

In Windows 7 the Notepad acts differently when I double-click a link: if a link has "?" or "-" marks in itself then Notepad (or Windows 7 system if you will) marks only the text before (or after) those marks. So I can't copy the links fast as I was used to do before.

So, is there a way to configure Notepad (or whatever else has to be reconfigured) so that it would ignore "?" and "-" marks when I double-click on a link (or any text at all)?

Thank you.

Everything is fine then. But it's the highlighting itself that I have a problem with. I used to be able to highlight a whole link with a double-click in XP Notepad, now I can't do that anymore with 7 Notepad. I do that a lot so it's quite annoying to have to mark (highlight) each link manualy, draging mouse from the beginning of the link to the end - instead of just double-clicking it.

If that's really so, then I'm really sorry about that. I love how it was with the XP Notepad when I could highlight a whole web link with just a quick double-click. Thank you anyway.

This is still bothering me very much, to this day. It's very time consuming for me the 7 vs XP way. Is there a notepad alternative (a simple one, like the original notepad) or some other way to change that to the XP style? Thanx!

If you triple click a weblink pasted into wordpad in Windows 7 it highlights the entire address like notepad did in XP.
