Hidden Word Processor in Windows XP


Did you know that there is another word processor in Windows XP aside from Notepad and Wordpad that you can use if you'll need to create or edit a simple text file? It's called "edit.com" or also known as the MS-DOS Editor.

Edit can be used to create, modify or print a document file like the things that you can do with Notepad.

To launch Edit.com, go to Start>Run and then type "edit" (without the quotes).

Of course there are reasons why you may want to use Edit.com instead of Notepad. Some of the reasons are:
It can edit files that are up to 65,279 lines and up to approximately 5MB in size.
The screen can be split vertically into 2 windows, each of which can display a different file.
Customizable color scheme.
Or if your eyes are tired with Notepad
