REG file, alert when opened with text editor
When ever I do a full registry backup and then "Edit" with Metapad (text editor), I get this alert ...
Metapad 3.6 (not LE) version
Metapad has always been OK for small "reads" of keys, but it has always irritated me when I want to look at the full registry list in REG file. Searching REG is much faster in text format, but if ANSI characters are lost the reg file is then worthless..
I have an automatic Ctrl+S reflex ...
MS Notepad does not falter. But it is too clunky, I think it is pre 1995 since MS even looked at Notepad.
Can you recommend another text editor (or Registry editor) that I can use.
One extremely useful feature in "Metapad 3.6" is the option to display URLs as links.
Makes topic research very compact
Any ideas appreciated :)
