Just use a texteditor, like notepad. I would recommend one with syntax highlighting, though, like Notepad++.

Windows sucks, you should use a a OS that actually gives you the ability to open files (like Linux).

I don't think you have to say this in almost evers topic. Everybody has a prefered OS, can you can't change that.

If you want to download use notepad++

Otherwise right click and open with word pad not notepad

They are good, but they are kind of difficult to learn for someone who is new to code editing. For windows, I would use notepad++.
