does NOTEPAD keep a draft copy?

I finished a short but important note, selected save, typed the filename, and
tried to complete the file save...only to have Notepad come back as "not
responding".

With an Athlon FX-55 2GB machine running WinXP-Pro, I have 1.5GB of RAM
left. Maybe there are two other programs in play (not large). Why does
Notepad do this? I normally love it because it is a lean-resource utility.

My question is: okay, the "not responding" Notepad is still open. Is there
maybe a "draft" copy somewhere like what WORD creates?

If I had a draft copy, no problem. Any help?

Thanks,
Boofer
 
Leave the app minimised for a while. This will hopefull force it's memory to the swap file. You can put the drive in another computer to get the text out of the swap file. There are no temporary files for notepad.
