Code::Blocks should be able to open them. These are plain text files. Maybe you need to set filter to "All files", as it's not a standard file format that a 3th party software could recognize.

sorry my mistake, I meant that when adding in the recent file and I click on it so it opens not. That's what I meant by what I do now?

but I have notepad + + ver. 5.8.6 the reader *. ufo files without a problem, I hope notepad++ don't change the *.ufo file when am saving it??

"Saving" function is meant to change the file. ;)
But Notepad++ can handle text files well.

Okay, when I use notepad + + since it works. Informs me that in the beginning of the files I changed on? or is it unnecessary?
