Wordpad, irks. ;-)

notepad2, notepad++ are two free alternatives I'm using, with
configurable encoding, line ending, syntax highligthing etc.

Installing one of those is the second thing I do on any new windows
machine, right after disabling the stupid system sound effects.

There are dozens of others, many of them probably as useful.
