When I double click a .ini file in windows explorer, notepad opens with the following message:
"The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." and a blank file appears.

Any suggestions on what's going wrong?
Thks.

Try this: Right click the file, choose 'Open with' > Select Program > browse to Notepad, select it and also select the "always use the selected program to open this kind of file' option and click OK.
