But how do you do this? Do you maintain internal database of all top level and country code top level domains or do you use some DNS lookup to discover this informaton.

I love this program, and it has been extremely useful to me for years.  As for suggestions, I have only one:

 - Like the Go button that starts the domain look up, how about a button that would allow us to open the domain/hostname/IP in a web browser?  Just a thought.

For what it's worth, I think the status bars look fine just the way they are.

Thanks for what you do, it is great!

I believe it depends on whether win32pad.ini (pre)exists.
Like if it does not exist, it will default to %APPDATA%.
But if it does, it will use the copy found in the win32pad.exe directory & forget %APPDATA%.

This is true; even an empty win32pad.ini in the Exe's directory is written on exit.

So it's still a doc bug in readme.txt.
IMHO the sentence from history.txt, version 1.5.8, can be taken:

Added code to be Windows XP compliant. It will read/write to user's Application
directory if win32pad.ini is not found in the same directory as win32pad.exe

> stores the win32pad.ini file in

I believe it depends on whether win32pad.ini (pre)exists.

Like if it does not exist, it will default to %APPDATA%.
But if it does it will use the copy found in the win32pad.exe directory & forgo %APPDATA%.

(My win32pad.ini are all in the same directory as win32pad.exe is found.)

An Undo bug:
When you undo all changes via Ctrl-Z,
- the filename-trailing asterisk in the title bar  doesn't disappear, but stays visible.
- Also if all changes are undone, closing win32pad should not bring up the "Do you wish to save your changes?" dialog.
  [edit] It does not.  My fault.  So it's only the display bug, in that the asterisk doesn't appear.

Hi gena01, I just downloaded win32pad - its Highlight URLs feature was the criteria. Thanks!

A doc bug:
win32pad obviously stores the win32pad.ini file in %AppData%\Gena01\win32pad\win32pad.ini.
However, readme.txt says that "this file is now stored in the same directory where Win32Pad is installed". 

A wish:
Is it possible to save/restore the window size, but not the window position?
I find the "default" window size (70% of screen for x and y)  a bit large for nowaday's monitor
sizes.
Perhaps you can implement a separate option 'Save Window Size' ?
Then each new instance would have the saved size, but is auto-positioned.  This makes multiple instances better visible and noticeable.

Best regards, Hartmut
