everytime i try and open a file with notepad (through double clicking the file) it simply wont work. If i go to the start menu and opend notepad and open a file, it works fine. Any ideas on how to fix the problem

Thank

Mike
 
What do you mean 'wont work'? Does notepad open or not? What message do you get?
 
Under your file associations, you need to tell the program to open when
double clicking on a txt file or any other associated notepad compatible
file. There is a field in the file associations routine where you direct
what action to take, AKA: "c:\windows\notepad.exe" %1
will cause it to open.
