RE: [ jEdit-users ] jEdit as notepad replacement

[<la...@ja...>]

I just tried it out at my Windows XP box. =20

Windows 2000 has some file protection and warns you if you replace "syste=
m files" like notepad.

Windows XP does not warn me. It just replaces the notepad.exe with a copy=
 that it gets from some secret place faster than i can rename copy jedit.=
exe in on its place.

Anyone figured out how to do it at XP ?

Thanks
