Notepad 2, Textpad ... these are what I use personally :)

Vim for Windows - www.vim.org
Or NTEmacs, which is compiled and distributed by yours truly - http://ntemacs.sourceforge.net

Both are very portable and standard editors across different systems.

vi/vim the omnipresent editor. I wonder if there's anywhere except windows where we can't find vi.
As for emacs, well I have heard that it can do so much that many people call it emacs OS
