By "ff" you mean "following"? I thought for a second you were referring to FireFox.

Anyway, you're asking a question that would result in 23 different answers from 30 people. There are dozens of NotePad replacements out there, you have to choose the one right for you. There isn't a One And Only alternative for all programs. Anyway, I used to use Win32Pad, but they made it so it installs so I didn't like it anymore. As for WPnFV, there's Picaso and IrfanView are the 2 top freeware choices. I'd go with IrfanView. It's got a lot of functionality and customizability.

Remember, whatever's right for you, is the right alternative.

After you switch, go to Start > Run > "regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll" (without quotations). This will unregister the WPnPV DLL file and then you can search that DLL and delete it. It's a crappy built-in application.

IrfanView is quite good, however you cant use it in companies

About notepad replacement, have a look at www.crimsoneditor.com, I am using it often (free, fast, functional)
