Notepad
Introduction
There will be times when you will want to edit textual files. Te
xtual files are different from documents created by WordPad,
MS Word, WordPerfect or some other word processing progra
m in a way that they contain no imbedded codes. Editing these
files with a word processing program can introduce special ch
aracters that make these files unusable. Instead, use Notepad
which allows you to edit the file as pure text.
Steganography is the art and science of writing hidden messag
es in such a way that no one, apart from the sender and intende
d recipient, suspects the existence of the message, a form of se
curity through obscurity. Steganography works by replacing bi
ts of useless or unused data in regular computer
files (such as graphics, sound, text, HTML, or even floppy dis
ks ) with bits of different, invisible information. This hidden in
formation can be plain text, cipher text, or even images.
In a computer-based audio Steganography system, secret mess
ages are embedded in digital sound. The secret message is emb
edded by slightly altering the binary sequence of a sound file.
Remote Server
This is the server part which waits for clients connection
s and for each connected client, a new frame appears s
howing the current client screen. When you move the m
ouse over the frame, this results in moving the mouse.
When you click any Particular client screen then it is aut
omatically zoom out. You can easily watch it is activity. A
fter that when you click on cancelled button then it is au
tomatically go to previous screen short.
Remote Client
This the client side, its core function is sending a screen
shot of the client's desktop every predefined amount of
time. Also it receives server commands such as "move t
he mouse command", and then executes the command
at the client's PC.
It has one more feature you can send any message fro
m server to any client. If client is following the instructio
n, it can continue working otherwise the server can shut
down the client PC form server side.
Textual files will normally have a .txt file extension, but there
are several special purpose files in Windows that must be pure
text. Some of the more important of these include your config.
sys, autoexec.bat, win.ini and system.ini. (These files existed
in earlier version of Windows, but have been eliminated in Wi
ndows XP). Use Notepad to edit these and not WordPad as yo
ur system cannot use the resulting WordPad file. If you decide
you want to create a web page, but don't have an HTML editor
, you will want to use Notepad so as not to introduce those nas
ty characters associated with WordPad, etc.
In addition to having a tool to use in editing those special files
on your system, learning Notepad can provide a good foundati
on for learning some of the other tools that come with Window
s 95/98/ME/XP as well as a number of the applications that yo
u may want to add to your system later.

My Notepad is simple to learn but has some features in comm


on with other programs, along with some unique features of its
own.
The first thing I want to point out in the above is that I have entered
some text into Notepad. Okay, let's look at some of the features
of Notepad. Let's start off by looking at each of the menus across the
top of Notepad.
The File Menu
This is the File menu. Notice a couple of things about this menu.
Notice the "..." at the end of several selections. This indicates that
selecting these items will take you to a dialog box that will allow
you to carry out that operation. Notice the code down the right side
of the menu - Ctrl+N, Ctrl+O, etc. These are hotkeys you can use
from within the document without having to go into the menu. These
hotkeys can save you some time in getting to these functions. I
wouldn't try to memorize these hotkeys right now, but just make a
mental note of them - you'll learn them over time as you find them
appropriate to your situation.

New - This will start a new document. If you are currently wor
king on a document that you haven't saved, the system will pro
mpt you to save the old document before starting a new one.
Open... - This allows you to bring an existing document into
Notepad to view and/or edit it. You'll see the following dialog
box when you make this selection:
This is the standard Open dialog box also used by most Windows pr
ograms. It consists of a toolbar across the top that shows you which f
older you are currently in along with a couple of control buttons for
getting to where you want to go. The main part of the Open dialog b
ox shows you the files/folders that match the criteria for this applicat
ion. Next is where the system will tell you the name of the file it thin
ks you want. Right now, it doesn't know so it assumes you want to lo
ok at all TXT files. Next is where you can tell the system what type
of files you are interested in looking at. By default, Notepad looks at
Text Documents (*.TXT), but you can change this to look at anythi
ng else. Finally, you can either Open the selection or Cancel this op
eration.
Save - If you are making modifications to an existing file, Sav
e will put the changes back into the file after confirming that y
ou really want to make the changes. If the file you are working
on is a new file, Save works the same as Save As....

Save As... - Save As... brings up a dialog box similar to the Op


en dialog box above. In Notepad you get to save the file wher
ever you want, but the best place would be in My Documents.
It's easy enough to change folders and save a file anywhere on
the system you want.
Encrypt After saving the file, one can encrypt the file too. This wi
ll transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorit
hm (called a cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone, at least not wit
hout the key. This will make another file with the encrypted informa
tion stored.
Decrypt Now that the file has been encrypted, if you want to retrie
ve the information back, you can use this button. It will again create
a new file, deciphering all the content present in the previous file.
Page Setup... The dialog
box allows you to custo
mize some of the things
you see when you print y
our document. For exam
ple, you can change the s
ize of your paper, custom
ize the header and footer
on each page as well as t
he margin at the top, bott
om and either edge of the
paper.
Print... - This is a standard print operation. It brings up the Print di
alog window where you can modify the printer information.
Exit - This shuts down Notepad. If the file you've been worki
ng on has not been saved, you will be prompted to save the file
before Notepad exits.
The Edit Menu
The Edit menu contains those functions that allow you to manipula
te the information you have on the screen. In this case, there are fou
r items that appear dim in the menu. The reason for this is that these
items are not available at the present time. In most cases, you have t
o have something selected for these items to work. Windows does a
pretty good job of communicating with you to tell you what you ca
n and cannot do. Also notice that most of the items in the Edit men
u have a key combination on the right (Ctrl+Z, etc.). These are hot
keys that can be used from within the document without having to g
o to the Edit menu. I don't recommend that you try and memorize t
hese hot keys just now. Instead, I would recommend that you just m
ake note of them as you use the menu items and over time pick up o
n those you use most frequently.
Undo - Notepad does have a rather neat feature called the Und
o. In essence, this is your Oops button. If you make a mistake
and suddenly say "Oops", you can select the Undo and reverse
whatever it was you just did. Unless I'm mistaken, the Undo it
em will only work on the most recent change you've made to y
our document.

Redo - Notepad also has a Redo button. In case you hit the Un
do before you actually have some definite reason, or after Und
oing something, you realize you were wrong with that move.
Cut - Again, this item is only available if you have something
selected in your document. Otherwise you have nothing to Cut
. You can select some piece of your document by holding dow
n the left mouse button and dragging across the letters/words/s
entences that you want to select. Your selection will have whit
e letters and a blue background. Now you will be able to Cut t
his selection. Cut removes the selected text from your docume
nt and puts it on the Clipboard. The information is not totally d
eleted, but is being held in case you want to put it somewhere
else.

Copy - Copy is very similar to Cut. The only difference is tha


t with Copy, your selected text is not removed from the docum
ent. Instead, a copy of your selected text is placed on the Clipb
oard for you to use later.
Paste - Once you have some text on the Clipboard (using ei
ther Cut or Copy above), you can move to wherever you w
ould like to put this text and Paste it back into your docume
nt. In other words, the combination of Cut and Paste allow
s you to move text around within your document while the
combination of Copy and Paste allows you to duplicate inf
ormation.

Delete - When you Delete text from your document, it is go


ne. If you do this by accident, you can use the Undo functio
n to bring it back, but otherwise it is gone. Delete does not
place the selected text on the Clipboard.
Find... - As you've already seen, this function opens a dialog box tha
t allows you to enter the text you want to search for along with a cou
ple of pieces of information to help Notepad perform the search. If t
he text is found, it will be selected ready for you to Cut, Copy or ov
ertype.
Find Next - This function simply repeats a previous Find.... This is
useful if you have the same text in several different place within yo
ur document.

Replace - This function allows you to locate some text within your
document and replace it with some other text. It even has the abilit
y to perform its function globally through the document, but be care
ful of using this as it can get you into trouble. For example, suppos
e you wanted to replace "eat" with "ate" globally throughout a docu
ment. This function would do it, but it would also change "eaten" t
o "ateen", "cheat" to "chate" and "defeat" to "defate".
Select All - If there is something you want to do with all the te
xt in your document at the same time, all you have to do is sel
ect the Select All function and your entire document will be se
lected. Now you can either Cut or Copy all the text to your Cl
ipboard.

Time/Date - The Time/Date function is a neat feature of Note


pad. Some people like to keep a journal and in a journal, you
might want to have the date and time as part of the document.
Obviously, you can type in the date and time, but with the Tim
e/Date function, Notepad will automatically insert the date an
d time like this: 7:47 AM 2/27/98.
The Format Menu
Word Wrap - In some cases, you may want the text you type to a
ppear on the same line, but most of the time, you'd like to be able t
o see all the text on the screen at the same time. If you only have a
little bit of information, you might be able to enlarge the Notepad
window to see all the text. Another way of handling this is to selec
t the Word Wrap function. This will take words that don't fit in th
e Notepad window and wrap them down to the next line. A check
mark appears when word wrap is turned on. Wrapping text enable
s you to see all the text on the line, but it doesn't affect the way tex
t appears when it is printed.
Font... - This allows you to change the font used to display the file
you have open. It doesn't change the font of the file itself. It simply
allows you to view/edit files using whatever font you wish.
Convert - In some cases, you may want the text you type to appear s
pecifically in upper case or in lower case. This button converts all th
e selected text into uppercase letters, or lowercase, as selected.

Line Count - This gives the total number of lines written in the Note
pad.
