As i want to develop a Rails application, i would like to have an editor like TextMate which i can use in Windows. It seems that Notepad++ would be a good option but it does not have a project explorer for me to switch the files.

Luckily, there is a Notepad++ plugin called Explorer where you can add the project explorer view.

1. Download it from Notepad++ Explorer Plugin.
 

2. Extract the archive and put the .dll file into <Notepad++>\plugins folder.
 

3. Restart the Notepad++ and enable the Explorer view under the Plugins tab.
 

4. The project explorer is ready now

 

Done =)
