I recently installed IE 5. after the install, I noticed that whenever I clicked on a .txt file, notepad would open the file, but I would also get an error message saying that the file could not be found or that a notepad library file could not be found. Once opened, it works just fine, but I was concerned why I get the error message. Can I extract notepad off of my windows cd and reinstall (*win98), and if so, where do I find it on the disk?

extract notepad.exe form the \win98 dir on the cd you can use system file checker if you are unfamiliar with it go to http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/serviceware/win98/e9qyp9568.asp. it gives instructions on how to use it >:)

Here's a better fix. Forget notepad. Download NoteTab Lite - freeware - from(WWW.notetab.com) or just about anywhere. Put it in c:\windows. Rename notepad.exe to notepad.old (in case you want it back) and rename notetab.exe to notepad.exe You'll never want to see notepad again!

I have the same problems but ALSO with Quicktime 4

Hi, Since installing IE5, Windows automatically launches Notepad periodically as c:\windows\notepad.exe /qazwsx.hsq . This keeps crashing my PC. Will try to rename and use Notetab instead.
