message: :The file version (6.0.6001.18000) changed with SP1, but the product version (6.0.6000.16386) remained the same. You can see the product version on the same screen you found the file version). Not sure which version is the one we are considering. Louis Waweru  Talk  00:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notepad Vista (with or without Service Pack 1) 

message: As you may or may not know, WINE developed a simple text editor that looks like Notepad. Later, ReactOS took it up and is improving it (though not to over-step boundaries of "notepad replacements") and translating it... (which WINE has later re-merged ReactOS' source, even though they're still not entirely interested in improving an intentionally-limited text editor)
So my real question comes in: Where do we fit in the open source (LGPL) version, if at all? Should there be two tables for the Microsoft one and the WINE/ReactOS one? Should they be together separated by a slash, or should only the Microsoft-created editor be included in the table?

: Unlike 'notepad replacements', there is room for 'notepad clones', like the reactos one, or even a DOS program like DOSIUS's notepad for DOS.  --Wendy.krieger (talk) 07:33, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

message: In addition to limit of a 64K file size, I have found that Notepad craps out (a technical term) at around 1K lines in the file.  Has anyone else noticed this limitation?  Two Halves, who has happily moved over to the UniRed text editor 22:42, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: What is the latest version of Notepad available? I have 5.1 --Martin925 00:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The latest version would be the one that has come out with the latest version of Windows.  There really isn't a version "5.1" of Notepad--the "5.1" really refers to the version of Windows (Windows XP).  Jason McHuff 07:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Please, stop adding the section of George Bush Reference. This bug, as you call it, is the same bug as described in the section of Notepad#Unicode detection. We do not need to mention it twice, just because it also works with the name of Bush. Especially, when I can make it work with your name too. Read the section of Notepad#Unicode detection closely, before you start writting again. -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 13:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  George Bush Reference? 

message: Practically all word processors include a "Paste Special..." feature, which allows pasting of text while removing formatting.  While some users use Notepad to emulate this, it should be noted that the word processor includes this feature in the first place.

message: No joke here, dont delete it.
Open notepad, type "love tmk and mario" (NO JOKE, THIS IS VERY REAL)
Save it.
Close it and open it again.
Tell me why the f### that happens.
For me it transformed the phrase into this: 潬敶琠歭愠摮洠牡潩
In reality they are square characters.

thread_title:  EXTREMELY strange glitch?? 

message: Some people seem to be overly oppressive, when it comes to a have-because-must-have software.. The Bush hid the facts, the 64k limit, the lack of block selection, the etc.. This notepad is there mainly to open EULA.txt and of course to edit config INI files. And it does that well enough, doesn't it? -- jsimlo(talk|cont) 05:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No. It doesn't. IE can open EULA.txt and Notepad still doesn't tolerate non-Windows newlines, making editing configuration files and viewing logs for stuff like Apache Tomcat as painful as possible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianary (talk • contribs) 15:56, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poor little notepad 

message: The introductory paragraph of the article says that Notepad has been included with Windows ever since 1.0, but the info box says it's been included since Windows 95.  Obviously, the Windows 95 is a mistake, since I remember it on 3.1, but my Windows use doesn't go far back enough to 1.0 to be able to positively verify it, which is why I didn't change the info box myself.  However, I'd assume that the 1.0 information is correct... unless the info box is trying to tell us something else? --Ericdn (talk) 21:52, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Hey,
Reference 12 ("Maximum File Size Limits for Notepad". Support. Microsoft. September 24, 2011. Archived from the original on 2016-01-14. Retrieved 2016-10-28.) leads to a 404 error, as the link is either broken or the page has been deleted. Assuming the link was originally correct, should it be removed now the page has been removed? There appears to be no alternative Microsoft Support page that contains the same information anymore.
Thanks,

replies: text: Having to search and find my request moved here has been bizarre. You moved my request from [WP:Requested moves:Uncontroversial technical requests] directly here (skipping the "If you object to a proposal" instructions there) (triggering a Reverted tag there), with edit-comment of only "Notepad contested". Whether you moved it to "Contested technical requests" on that page or here, you were supposed "append a note on the request elaborating on why". How do you mark something "objected" when you neither object nor claim that anyone else does? -A876 (talk) 00:26, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
