This is an awesome text editor that is already portable and is smaller, yet has more features than most notepad-replacements.

(Scroll down and download the small package of office software called "Floppy Office". Go into the collection after downloading and go to the folder called tnp451re_uni and grab only the TedNPad.exe file and stick that on your drive.)

Personally, I prefer SciTE as a text editor.

How big is SciTE?
TED seems to have more features, but I don't know if it's smaller. TED is 128KB.

It turns out that TED makes a slew of registry entries. I would recommend using kPad instead, it is smaller and does TXT and RTF.
link and instructions to get kPad:

just create tednpad.ini in the app directory and all your setting will be stored in that file, instead of registry.
