Did not happen to update AV at the same time?

I think I'm just going to keep my users using TextPad, it's so much quicker than notepad. I was just curious, and so was my supervisor, as to whether anything recently might have caused Notedpad to become even slower than it was before. Video drivers haven't changed, and Textpad works almost instantly. Maybe MS decided to 'improve' Notepad, who knows...... Thanks, even liked the 'edlin' suggestion....hehe ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 10:14 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Notepad question What if you try copying notepad.exe from a "good" machine to a "bad" machine. Does the problem go away? If not, then the problem could be a video driver or something like that, which you could test on one machine with a rollback. Jeff "David Florea, SysAdmin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/03/2008 12:52 PM Please respond to "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> To "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> cc Subject Notepad question I know, nobody ever asks a question about notepad, so this is weird. But since we applied some windows updates this last week, notepad functions have slowed to a crawl. For instance, we have some folks that have to do a find & replace operation, notepad has now started to run quite slowly, line by line, and on a 200K text file may take an hour. If I do the same function in Textpad, for example, the same function happens almost instantly. Not that it's a critical issue, but has anyone seen that or know why it might be?
