Windows default “notepad.exe” is not, never ever use windows notepad.exe. Never use windows wordpad.exe to edit text files.

In PMC editing community when most of the tutorials say use proper text editor it means exactly that, a proper text editor instead of the garbage that comes with default windows install. Notepad++ is a proper text editor.

Notepad++ is free and open source text editor, it gets frequent updates. Has all the basic stuff like dark mode, syntax highlighting for various programming languages and scripting languages, C++, HTML, PHP, XML, etc.
