Is there a way to disable the "Save changes?" dialog in notepad when I try to close
it?

Maybe not. That would be called a "design flaw" if the user could turn off the save
feature. But if you need a special editor that can be "fixed" the way you like, there
are free editors that allow that sort of thing. Or just make your own.
But why would you need that?

Just wondering because I work at a call center and I have to use notepad constantly
because apparently AT&T is too lazy to create their own software.
I would make my own but we're not allowed to use any software created by employees
and stuff; basically it has to be authorized by AT&T first.
I'm just tired of notepad always asking me If I want to save changes.
It's an annoyance. ;)

Hi David:
Of all the NOTEPAD replacements I've ever tested, I
don't recall ANY that don't prompt you to save if you've
typed something and not saved it already.
Can you plug in a USB stick? How about
MULTICLIPBOARD? It can run right off the USB stick
without being "installed," and writes all its saved
information in a text file in the folder where the
executable starts from -- not in the Registry. You
can exit without saving, or being prompted to save.
Free.
