windows xp - Notepad-like text editor with autosave

I like to use notepad to take simple notes during my work (todo lists, notes etc.). Unfortunatelly, I am missing autosave feature, because when system freezes the notes are lost.

Is there any simple, Notepad-like text editor for Windows XP which has autosave feature?

Answer

I would consider using Notepad++ it has a backup function which recovers your previous session. Including unsaved files.
