Notepad++ text editor

If you have ever opened multiple files in Notepad, and wished its interface were more like a word processor, try this…

It’s described as a generic source code editor.

I LOVE that:
I can open multiple documents and have tabs to switch between files…
…and there’s an “explorer” available to make it easy to get to files, and then open them.

IE "freezing"

Dean called and said his computer is running windows 2000, and at times Internet Explorer “freezes”…when he right-clicks, he sees and error message relating to (what we believe to be) shdocvw.dll

My “down and dirty” recommendation is to uninstall as many versions of Internet Explorer as possible (“How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 6”)…and (try to) install a new copy of Internet Explorer 6

(Internet Explorer 7 is not available for Windows 2000.)
