Kind of off-topic, but may be useful to those who didn't know - if you 
want to save something from Notepad without the ".txt" being added, you 
just put double quotes around it in the Save As dialog- like this:

"MyClass.java"


Personally, I always replace the windows notepad with a lightweight 
alternative, and of the several I've tried, the one I like best is the 
freeware NotePad2:

http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html

...which is more developer-oriented, without being over-complicated, and 
is very fast and lightweight. The only drawback I've found is that it 
doesn't handle *huge* files very well, but then neither does notepad. 
NotePad2 provides:

   - Customizable syntax highlighting:
     - HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript, VBScript, ASP, PHP, CSS, Perl/CGI
     - C/C++, C#, Java, VB, Pascal, Assembler, SQL, Python, NSIS
     - INI, REG, INF, BAT, DIFF
   - Support for Unicode, UTF-8, Unix and Mac text files
   - Basic regular expression search and replace
   - Brace matching, auto indent, tabs as spaces etc...

and it can be used to replace notepad system-wide, by following the 
steps shown on this page (for a different application, but you get the 
idea):

(MetaPad is also a great notepad replacement, but doesn't do syntax 
highlighting)

Hope this is of some use
