Notepad.exe

Rec'd an e-mail with attachment.  Could not open.  Notepad.exe needed.  File not found.  Have I lost it.  Have run full virus scan with NAV 2004 as suggested.

balsam03,

This error has been reported recently by someone whose file association was corrupted. What is the file name of the attachment to the email? If it does not have the extension .txt (which I suspect it doesn't) that is the problem.

Do a search for Notepad.exe on your computer, making sure that system files and hidden files are included in your search.  Is it still present on your computer?

Conducted a search.  Notepad.exe could not be found.  Looked on C Drive.

The file does have the notation extension.txt  I have searched the C drive, but the file Notepad.exe cannot be found.   Is this something that came on WindowsME and has been deleted?  How can I get it back.

balsam03,

You can extract notepad.exe from the Windows ME reinstallation CD using the procedure here. Place it in C:\Windows.
