First of all, you need to calm down, STOP YELLING, and be less
aggressive in your emails. Remember that you're asking for free help
from strangers here.

Second, what you are asking is a Notepad question, it actually has
__nothing__ to do with PHP.

Third, Notepad is a very bare bones text editor and does not have
features like the one you're looking for.

Fourth, a great way to see what an application can do is open it and
look at the menus. Like File. Like File>Open.

Fifth, yes, Notepad can open remote files if you can connect to the
remote server from your computer. This is true of any application.

Sixth, can __you__ actually connect to your remote server from Windows
so that you can open a networked file? Um, I'm guessing not.

Seventh, many FTP applications let you set an external text editor.
This would let you connect to the server, edit a file in Notepad, and
save it, without saving it to your hard drive first.

Eighth, many of these answers will be the same for Dreamweaver,
although that's a much more sophisticated application. That being said,
DW probably has the ability to open and edit remote files. You know
what would be a good way to find out for certain? Check out a DW
reference or open the application.

Ninth, there's is no number nine.

Tenth, again, this isn't really a PHP question.
