hmmm... FREE Not sure where you heard that.
I'll bet you're running Windows XP Professional which if you look for the current price it's running for about $279 U.S. Dollars. Not exactly what I'd call free.
Yeah, well you keep on using EDIT.COM and EDLIN.COM too. We don't want to try and teach an OLD DOG new tricks.

well if you aren't running windows (all versions of windows has notepad) then you will be playing hell running your scripts.
Don't bring up something funky like running a citrix client on a linux machine, where you want to edit in linux but test through client

Comments: I like Allan's KiXtarter.
However, for day-to-day stuff I use EditPad Pro with my Kixtart.jgcscs (probably needs updating) that is available from - http://www.editpadpro.com/cgi-bin/cscslist.pl?focus=25
I like NotePad for doing "quickie" edits, but lacks in the following area of criteria:
- Cannot open large files - This is better with Windows 2000+.
- Replace - A "one-for-one" replace is fine, but complex..
- Search (or replace) on CR/LF/CRLF - Most every editor that I have tested with the exception of EditPad, UltraEdit, TextPad does not do this or does this not very well.
- Tabs - really makes it convenient to go between files.
- Projects - If you manage Logon scripts for your company and you have to open six files, why not be able to do this quickly?
- Block Editing - a "nice to have" but not critical.
Another thing that has not been brought up in this light. While editing a file is critical to our work, why not talk about the things that help us get there?
Thanks,
Kent

You also forgot my favorite freware editor: Editor 99
It can be found here: Downlod Editor 99 - Click on: To Start your 367kb Download, Click Here
Features:- Define/edit syntax colorizing. (create color schemes for other/any languages)
- All shortcut keys are windows standard
- Tab indent/unindent by ctrl+shift+t / ctrt+t
- Unlimeted undo / redo (ctrl+z / ctrl+y)
- Autocheck on brackets - Cursor jumps to matching ( or [ when entering ) or ]
If anyone is interstes, I have the syntax coloring files for KiX 4.22

ConText is a very good free editor.
- Basic
- Low Impact
- Somewhat Customizable
Below is my ConText Kixtart highlighter. I use the ;' combination for comments because as noted below I recycle a lot of VB(script) code and it was easy to combine the two for a unique single line comment delimiter.
You will also notice some WB_ (Winbinder for PHP) keywords and functions along with some Win/.Net/PHP HW_ functions. These can be scrubbed.
I need to add some addtional keywords for Kixforms and the UDFs but have not had the time. If anyone takes this on hopefully you will be gracious enough to share the modified highlighter.
Enjoy

Well I know this is an old topic but I recently reviewed the Admin Script Editor site again and found that last year they released their editor to the public for free use.
It is a pretty good editor I think. Might want to grab a copy while it's still available and take a test drive with it. If you don't like it nothing lost but if you do then you just save yourself about $300+ bucks.
