TabPad was designed to look almost identical to Notepad, with the same features and functionability (plus more), except to also incorporate tabs. TabPad is fast, efficient and well written, and supports opening dozens (if not more) of tabs for text files. You can make it your default editor if you please, TabPad supports files being opened by Explorer, or you can simply use it standalone. Drag and drop support is also included (that includes batch drag and drop, meaning multiple files). As of Version 1.90, TabPad includes autorecovery, allowing you to salvage anything you were working on in the event of a program/system error or power outage [There is no gurantee you will not lose data]. I've also incorporated an 'ASP Tools' toolbar, allowing you to quickly access all the files an ASP page 'includes', or search through them automatically."
