[NTLK] Password safe?

[Forrest]

My two cents--I use Super Notepad. It can be a problem if you want to export notes, as you'd have to set the preferences to not automatically "lock" the note when you close it (so you could access and unlock them all to export)...and then RE-set it to auto lock afterwards, go and re-enable the ones you want locked afterwards. But really--how many times would you export all your notes? This is not a problem for me, as I rarely would need to do that. But, remember--YMMV.

Thanks,
