You also tried a right-click|OPEN WITH|CHOOSE PROGRAM|Notepad...
and checkmarking the "always use" box?

Hi Jim,

Try the edit on line 305 (right hand side)

If that doesn't help, run all of these:

Thanks for the help!!!

I really couldn't get the notepad problem fixed using the registry
edit from kelly-korner(line 305), I just associated all my text files
with Wordpad and everything works fine and dandy now

Thanks!!!
