If the Save recovery file every 5 mins setting is turned on, TED Notepad creates recovery auto-save files periodically whenever the current document is unsaved. The recovery file name is created by appending .$ to the original file name and can be hidden from standard Windows Explorer view. Whenever the document is saved or closed, such recovery file is automatically removed. However, if the computer crashes, the recovery file is kept intact and might contain a newer version of the document.
