SciTE is a nice Open Source editor which is available for Windows and is also found in the repo of most Linux distros.
http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.htmlBack in the days when I was still using Windows my favorite editor was the free version of NoteTab. I purchased both the Standard and Professional versions, mainly to show support for fookes.com, but I always went back to using the free version because I liked it best.
http://www.notetab.com/notetab-light.php (Runs under wine but not 100%)Another Windows editor I'm very fond of, mainly because it's executable file is very tiny (just a shade over 6kb in size), making it the leanest, meanest and fastest editor available for Windows, is The Gun.
http://www.movsd.com/thegun.htm Even more awesome is the fact that it runs beautifully under wine. Another very popular small, fast editor for Windows is MetaPad.http://liquidninja.com/metapad/ (Just checked, this one also runs under wine)
Once upon a time I sort-of collected Windows editors. Each of these is, for one reason or another, worthy of note (if you feel like taking the time to look them over).
