I like Allan's KiXtarter.
However, for day-to-day stuff I use EditPad Pro with my Kixtart.jgcscs (probably needs updating) that is available from - http://www.editpadpro.com/cgi-bin/cscslist.pl?focus=25
I like NotePad for doing "quickie" edits, but lacks in the following area of criteria:
- Cannot open large files - This is better with Windows 2000+.

- Replace - A "one-for-one" replace is fine, but complex..
- Search (or replace) on CR/LF/CRLF - Most every editor that I have tested with the exception of EditPad, UltraEdit, TextPad does not do this or does this not very well.
- Tabs - really makes it convenient to go between files.
- Projects - If you manage Logon scripts for your company and you have to open six files, why not be able to do this quickly?
- Block Editing - a "nice to have" but not critical.
Another thing that has not been brought up in this light. While editing a file is critical to our work, why not talk about the things that help us get there?
Thanks,
Kent
