LLXX Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Try notepad.exe instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcemanND Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 look in your profile folder (%userprofile%), I'll bet you have a file named notepad with no extension, or an unknown extension. Delete it and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlash428 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) You will need "notepad.exe" to be in the system32 folder. (at least from my experience). Of course, I replace notepad.exe with notepad2.Edit: Sorry, slightly misunderstood...I would follow Iceman's advice, be sure to also check the System32 folder.

net_user Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 already checked all that.....still no good..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 search your system for notepad no extension, it's gotta be somewhere in one of directories in the PATH variable before it gets to system32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
