pretty useful, cheers. I notice it mentions notepad++, which Major tom mentioned yesterday, but I've been quite happy with PsPad for the last few years.

I also use BeyondCompare very frequently. It does an excellent job comparing folders and files in a clear manner. For anyone who manages large codebases, it's a lifesaver.

Too many times I've seen a script in a directory that has about 10 different types of backups for that one script. You'll see script.vbs. Then script2.vbs, script.old, script.bak, or scriptREALLYOLD.vbs.

that is totally me. i used to use some sort of source control program, but somewhere over the years i got out of the habit ...
