Windows – Notepad with line numbers

text-editorswindows 7

I'm looking for a text editor with as few features as notepad, but with the addition of line numbers.

Does anyone know of such an application.

Edit

I've used Notepad++ and Notepad2 in the past and I'm not keen. I'm looking for something that really is as lightweight as Notepad (but with line numbers 😉 (thanks for the suggestions so far though)

Notepad++ is a good replacement and includes line numbers.

Edit: Following your edit saying that you'd tried Notepad++ - you could try Metapad. It's a quick standalone Notepad replacement - it doesn't display the line numbers down the side (like Notepad++ does), but it does display the cursor position (row/column) in the status at the bottom of the window which would effectively tell you what line number you're on when you're editing/viewing.
