All seem to be virus free and working well in Windows 7 Ultimate. Glass Notepad and CMD are executables, hit the links for more info. When I get the time I am going to see if I can get Glass CMD to run as a service. Uses 684k on my machine so it's not going to bog stuff down.

Looks good. Thanks for the post.

I have been looking for a better text editor than Notepad, but I don't think Glass-Notepad will meet my needs (I don't need fancy graphics). In addition to getting rid of a number of annoyances with Notepad, I need better global replacement functions for non visible control characters such as CR and LF. There are a number of them available on the net, but I would appreciate any recommendations.

I have been using PFE32 for the last 12 years. It has a sophisticated search and replace function (accepts '\n' and '\t' for instance) and a VERY good macro function. Unfortunately, it has a somewhat clunky user interface.

For the last 4 years or so, I have also been using "ConTEXT". It has a friendlier user interface (uses 'Cntrl C' and 'Cntrl V' for cut and paste for instance). It also has a block cut and paste function that is extremely handy. And has "Highlighters" for most programming languages.

By using both editors I don't lack for anything. Of course, if you are into masochism and such, there is a Windows version of "Vi"

When I get the time I am going to see if I can get Glass CMD to run as a service.

Turns out Glass CMD has a a Settings.ini file that has one line in it, HideTrayIcon=0. Changing the 0 to a 1 will hide the tray icon. I renamed Glass CMD.exe to GCMD.exe and created a new folder in Program Files named GCMD, then I copied both files in there. Instead of trying to run the program as a service, I just let it run in the background as a regular process by adding a registry setting in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\Run]. Now the program starts when logging into Windows.

Code: [Select]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Glass CMD"="C:\\Program Files\\GCMD\\GCMD.exe"
