I don't know much about DOS. Please help a little more. Can you write the whole line to open a file in notepad? I tried START "C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.exe testlog.txt" it didn't work Thanks

Just NotePad "TestLog.txt" but you must type the full path leading to your file. So if TestLog.txt is in the following folder C:\My Folder\Sub Folder\TestLog.txt you have to type NotePad "C:\My Folder\Sub Folder\TestLog.txt" NotePad being a Windows application does not require however to have its own path declared. that should suffice, but if you need more support post again.
