I recently got a Windows 10 computer that I've been customizing to visually resemble my previously-owned Windows Vista & 7 computers. I'm making great progress towards finalizing my customization, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock.

I want Notepad to show those little white margins at the top & sides of the program window, like it used to do on Windows Vista & Windows 7. See here:

  • No margin

    Notepad without margin

  • With margin

    Notepad with margin

The problem is, I've tried numerous searches on Google about dealing with this issue, only to hardly get any results!

Can anyone please help me out?

    Surely, there must be something that can be done to get those margins back why are you so sure? And which margin are you talking about? I've never seen any margin in Notepad

  • @davidbaumann Yes...but do you know of any such software--or registry tweaks, or anything else--that can add those Vista-style white margins in Notepad? :-( Having no margins is driving me crazy!

Click on File>Page Setup
On the Margins section, set your margins of the right side as well as the top as required!

  • I'm afraid that only works for printing out Notepad files, not fixing the actual appearance of Notepad in Windows. :-( Thanks for your help, though.
