I have XP Home SP2 (retail)
On my machine, wordpad.exe is in
C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe
I don't remember if it was always there, or if I put it there (I save things like that - and fonts, since MS has a way of losing (via "upgrades") fonts, utilities, etc. that you already paid for once). Some of the fonts that I loved in Win98 mysteriously disappeared when I "upgraded" and now they want $30 for a font that I already had with Win98. Now, I save fonts like gold. But I don't think Wordpad has been deleted, at least from XP, just carefully obscured.
If it isn't there on your machine, I'll be happy to email it to you - its quite small - only 210 kb. And I can zip it if you like.
Question: Does anyone know how to change the DEFAULT font in Wordpad?

The shortcut may have disappeared, but it's unlikely that the program
did.
Search for "Wordpad.exe" and create a shortcut when you find it.
I've heaqrd good things anout Notepad ++, but have never used it:

What is the best replacement for Wordpad, which mysteriously disappeared
from my computer?
Any clues as to its disappearance would be welcome.
XPPro SP2.
