mfNotePad is a utility to replace the yellow post-it notes around your monitor.
The basic idea for this program belongs to Yiannis Kostandaras.
It appears as a thin line on the edge of the screen. (You can choose Top, bottom, left, right edge)
Each file has its own color that you can set.
You can add up to 20 files and you can also use it as a program launcher
Left click and hold on a color opens the text editor temporarily, Right click makes it stay open.
You can set a windows hot-key to open the last file edited.
Rich text format support (RTF fonts, sizes, colors, lists, bold etc.)
You can search through all of the files and set bookmarks.
You can encrypt your text files with a password, so no-one else can read them. (With an option to auto encrypt if computer is idle)
