When notepad.exe is executed (Start\Run then type
notepad.exe, Start\Programs\Accesseries\notepad.exe,
C:\windows\notepad.exe etc.), the following message
appears in a DOS command window instead of notepad
application:

The notepad.exe is found in C:\Windows directory. The

How strange and mysterious. While it is true the Notepad is used in
debugging, the solution to your problem is not clear. Perhaps Kelly can
help.

Not tonight, am heading out. However, this seems to be involved with Debug
Symbol Setup Info.
