   David Carson to All   
   Not dead: Wordpad

   From: davidc@wa-wd.com   
      
   It was posted last year that Microsoft removed its Wordpad text editor   
   from Windows 11. I commented that I use Notepad many times every day,   
   almost constantly, but I don't use Wordpad. Well, after a Windows 10   
   laptop I own got baptized (i.e. immersed in water, NOT sprinkled with   
   it) and I had to replace it, I found that I missed Wordpad on that   
   computer. I learned that it's fairly simple to restore Wordpad simply   
   by copying the binaries from an earlier version. If one does not have   
   the binaries anymore, they aren't hard to find online.   
      
   It does not surprise me that this works, as I use Microsoft Office   
   Picture Manager, which is from the Windows XP era, on Windows 7 and 10   
   computers to this day, and I used to use builds of Telnet from, I   
   think, the Windows 2000 era, on much later systems. The only thing   
   that surprises me is that I missed Wordpad badly enough to do this.
