Notepad2

The Windows notepad can sometimes help you make small adjustments to the code that runs your applications, but most of the time it comes up short.

If you don't want to always be depending on a programming tool and you enjoy the simplicity of the notepad interface for making changes to your applications, Notepad2 could be a great option.

Notepad2 is a free application for Windows to create and edit code in several languages, including XML, Javascript, HTML, C, C++, VBScript, Pascal, Python, and Perl, among others.

Some of the features will help you out a ton, such as the ones that highlight the syntax of the code you're writing, identify lines, and autocorrect the closures of the lines of code.
