Advice requested - text editor

I'm running Windows and looking for a notepad replacement.  It needs to do the simple stuff really simply, and I don't really have a massive use for complex stuff.  But it should be able to open unix text files without a problem, do find/replace, etc.  If it's scriptable that's a bonus (so I can do a series of finds/replaces in one go) but not essential.

Any suggestions?

Scite, which has a stand alone 500K version that runs nicely of a memory stick, has various syntax highlightings, Unix / Mac / Windows CR/LF options, and regex find and replace.

I use Scite. Not a lot these days, but I do use it.
