Is there a way to set up Notepad to where it can recover if it unsuspectingly closes? I am thinking of something similar to what Microsoft Word does. Thanks.

You might look into "Notepad ++", it has some kind of an auto-save function.

Wouldnt that be CPU intensive though?? (It would have to continually monitor what you have in Notepad and resave it everytime something new was added or removed)

Would be useful though!

No. It's not CPU intensive at all. Office applications already do it. So do Google Docs and the alike.

Auto-save is normally set to save every "x" number of minutes.

I'm wondering now why on earth your notepad might unsuspectingly (unexpectedly?) close, something must be really broken. Is it doing that?

Computer freezes up and you have to restart.

What OS are you running?
Amount of RAM?
Anti-virus you use?
Hard drive full or close to it?
Any Blue screens at reboot?
Do you use Ccleaner?
Too much junk running at startup?
