Folks,

Suddenly, when I try to use notepad, I get the following error message:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have
the appropriate permissions to access the item".

Could somebody offer a fix suggestion ?

Thanks in advance.

If your using Zone Alarm Firewall it might have disabled it you could find it in your windows folder or from command say the command: C:\windows\notepad.exe this should find it if it doesn't try searching for it if the problem stay's you might have a virus that binds with notepad try running a scan first update your antivirus this should resolve your problem.
