Can't you install Notepad++ to a thumb drive and run it by just plugging it into a Windows box? As a bonus, you can save Ann your text files to the thumbprint so they're always right where you expect them.

I don't have admin privileges and can't install Firefox on my work computer but I can install Firefox on a thumb drive and then run it from the thumb drive because IT admins are idiots
