Thanks to all for the helpfull advice. Minimals installed no problem and I managed to get Scite up and running after using the usefull information in the Contextgarden Wiki. I'll have a play around with Texworks and Notepad++ and see how I get on with them. I look forward to Textadept - when Hans is happy with it. Thanks again to all.

A good Windows editor is Notepad++. I started out with Scite, then used TeXworks for some time also. TeXworks is nice with the integrated pdf view and synctex, but is not really comfortable as editor. Notepad++ has the same editing comfort as Scite (both on Scintilla) plus a 'friendly' gui and some nice features like double editor windows, a very good "search in all open files", and some very handy plugins (compare, explorer, NPPexec ...). Do a search on the list and you will find a context-npp package made by one of the list members. It's a bit dated (you have to tweak some things) but it will help you greatly to get an idea how to set up the editor for context.
i use scite for all editing but as soon as textadept (lua based scintilla) gets a proper runner (process with realtime io) i'll switch to that
