Instructions
Step 1
In "Notepad" you can type small texts, saving them on the hard disk of your computer. For the implementation of serious tasks, this program cannot be used, but as an editor for quick notes and notes, there is no better option. The presence of such a utility in the root structure of the system makes it more versatile.
