eqhost.txt and notepad....I need some assistance

[Schlags]

The other day i decided to try out eqemu and I followed the setup guide and did everything correctly, but when i tried to change the eqhost.txt i discovered that there i do not have notepad on my computer, instead i tried using wordpad, and I downloaded a notepad replacement program, and changed the eqhost.txt, and then saved. when i tried to log in i still recieved the invalid password error. and when i went back to check the eqhost.txt file i found out that it reverted back to its original form. Do I have to have notepad to do this? and if so, is there any way I can get it, or if not, a substitute for it? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!
