Scratch Pad
The Scratch Pad is a lightweight text editor with the capability of normal edit operations, such as cut, copy and paste.

Note that Scratch Pad requires .NET Framework 3.5 or lower versions installed. The menu item is grayed out in Windows 8 or 8.1 as .NET Framework 3.5 is not available by default on these operating systems. Install .NET Framework 3.5 to resolve the problem.
