This sounds like useful updates and I'm glad they kept it small and simple.
I use Notepad many times a day, frequently on end-user machines as a quicky binary file viewer.
Enter shell:sendto in the address bar or run dialog, then add a new shortcut in there for Notepad. Then right-click a mysterious misbehaving file (like a PDF with a DOCX extension) and Send To, Notepad.
Today though I was doing a bunch of RegEdit work with several remote registries and was really wishing for a multi-tab Registry editor. Hope that app gets an update some day.
