If you do not like this, you can, of course, disable this feature and make EditPad behave like a normal Windows application. This way you have easy and fast access to EditPad, without the need to keep it running all the time. * EditPad puts an icon in the system tray that remains visible, even if EditPad is closed. * Reopen menu that lists the last 16 files opened. * When you close an unsaved file, EditPad will either warn you, automatically save the file as you prefer. * You have the option to keep the EditPad window on top of all other windows. and immediately see the effects in the print preview. * You can specify many print settings: font, margins, headers/footers, etc. * Block functions: save parts of your text to disk and insert a file in the current text. Of course, if you do need more instances, simply pick View|New editor from the menu. This means there will be at most one EditPad window open, which will save you from a lot of task switching. * If you run EditPad again when there is already an instance running, the file(s) you wish to edit will be opened by the existing EditPad window. You can even undo changes after saving them, as long as you did not close the file. * You will enjoy EditPad's unlimited undo and redo. (Most other editors cannot handle lines longer than, say, a thousand characters, even if they do claim to support files of unlimited size.) Also, the maximum length of a single line is not limited. * EditPad does not impose a limit on the size of files you can open and edit with it.
No hassle with heaps of overlapping windows. * You change between the open files by clicking on their tabs.
* You can open as many files in EditPad at a time as you want.
