In the latest Windows 10 Insider build, Microsoft has released a new version of Notepad that includes changes that bring it closer to what we have come to expect from modern text file editors.
- How to Open Notepad in Windows 10 There are several ways to launch a Notepad and create a new text document. Way 1: Open Notepad via Run Press Win+R to open Run box.
- Open a Notepad file. Go to View and select Status Bar. Enter text and move the cursor to the line you want to find the number for. Look at the bottom in the status bar and you will see the line number.
These new changes are currently being introduced to Windows Insiders and will then be made available in Windows 10 Build 1903 update (19H1) slated to be released this spring.
Changed file indicator
In this latest version of Notepad, Microsoft has added a changed file marker that indicates when the text in Notepad has changed. This indicator will be shown as an asterisk (*) that is prepended to the file's name in the title bar.
As you can see in the example below, when I added text to Notepad, an asterisk was added to the title so that the file name now reads as '*lorem.txt'. Once you save the document, the changed file indicator will be removed.
Notepad saves files as UTF-8 without BOM by default
In this build, Microsoft added the ability to save files as UTF-8 without a BOM (Byte Order Mark), which is labeled as the 'UTF-8' option when saving a file.
Right click on a free space on the Windows 10 desktop, select 'New', 'Shortcut' Now enter in the location the full path of the Windows 10 Notepad:%WINDIR% otepad.exe Click the Button 'Next'. Please enter the name for the Notepad Desktop-Shortcut, you can notepad.exe leave or enter notepad as name.

A BOM is Unicode character that some text editors and program add to the beginning of a file to indicate that the contents use Unicode encoding. This is an optional character, though, and some programs and versions of programming languages may have problem interpreting it and thus cause issues.

File encoding displayed in status bar
Continuing with encoding support, Notepad will also display the encoding type of a document in the lower right corner of the Notepad status bar as shown below.
Other changes and additions
Other fixes and changes in the current release of Notepad to Insiders includes:
- We’ve added support for some additional shortcuts:
- Ctrl+Shift+N will open a new Notepad window.
- Ctrl+Shift+S will open the Save as… dialog.
- Ctrl+W will close the current Notepad window.
- Notepad can now open and save files with a path that is longer than 260 characters, also known as MAX_PATH.
- We’ve fixed a bug where Notepad would count lines incorrectly for documents with very long lines.
- We’ve fixed a bug where, when you select a placeholder file from OneDrive in the File Open dialog, we would download the file to determine its encoding.
- We’ve fixed a recent regression where Notepad would no longer create a new file when launched with a file path that didn’t exist.
What we still need

It is great that Microsoft has started to pay attention again to the Notepad program, but there are still plenty of features that are needed to compete with other Notepad replacements such as Notepad2 or Notepad++.
Some of the features I would love to see included are: Microsoft powerpoint para tablet.
- Line numbers
- New file tabs so we can have multiple documents open at once if we wish.
- Search and Search & Replace using Regular Expressions.
- The ability to change the background and text colors.
- Syntax highlighting, whether that be through user submitted templates or designed by Microsoft.
- Enable word wrap using a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+W. Yeah, I know its used already for a new keyboard shortcut, but its better for word wrap :)

XML Notepad provides a simple intuitive User Interface for browsing and editing XML documents.
XML Notepad is the result of a promise Chris Lovett made to a friend at Microsoft. The original XMLNotepad shipped in back in 1998, written by Murray Low in C++. Later on it fell behind in supportfor XML standards and, because we didn't have time to fix it, we pulled the downloader. But Murrayapparently did such a nice job that MSDN was inundated with requests to put the notepad back up, sothey asked for a replacement.
Chris was working on System.Xml in C# in 1999, so he figured he could crank out a replacement usingthe .NET Framework pretty quickly. Well, the problem was it was one of those side projects on his'one-day' list — you know how that goes! Fortunately, another good friend, Michael Corning, tookinterest in it, helped hold his feet to the fire, and also added some cool features himself. DanDoris also took pity on Chris and helped identify some great bugs. So here we are, a nifty tool thatshould be useful to those who want a quick way to view and edit XML documents.
