I'd strongly advice you to get hold of one of the many free editors out
there. Many such editors are decent and very powerful. You will benefit in
the long run.

I personally think that Notepad is terrible. Its line-wrapping and save
mechanism (to name a few weaknesses) are poor and there is no support
text/code highlight. Notepad is only good for a 5-line TODO list, but no
task beyond that. It's lightweight, hence it's aimed at 'lightweight'
tasks.
