Description:
Notepad is a tool, which every computer user finds easy to use. It is required to read and write text for notes, e-mails, batch files etc. It does not automatically line-wrap text at the right margin. The text editor lets you configure the page setup including headers, footers and margins. These options are not normally saved between sessions but with this tweak notepad can be made to save any changes. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey \notepad is not present, create it as explained below.

Now, create another dword value name fsavewindowpositions, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and make the value data 1 to enable the setting. Click ok and close the registry editor.
