Hello all,
Whenever I open a *.txt file I get this annoying error.

For several days, I tried debugging the error but didnt help. I checked through the windows registry as well but didnt help at all.
Please advice.
Hey thats strange ? does it do the same when you try open with another reader ??
maybe your notepad.exe is corrupt.
Hey, that reminds me of the trick you could do in any Windows OS below 2000...It was hillarious putting a folder on the desktop named pr0n at school and the tech guys not knowing when it was made or created and not being able to delete/access it :lol: According to Windows, the file/folder didn't even exist! :lol:
Well notepad opens the file. Its just that it would give the error each time. It doesnt happen with other readers like WordPad so I am assuming its notepad. Any Suggestions?
That is interesting...Wonder why windows used to do that <_<Quote:

Just a guess, try right clicking on the file and go open with and direct it to the notepad.exe. It might have stuffed up :unsure:
Nah ,didnt work. I tried associating it with Word Pad and then changing back to notepad , still same error.
Is there a way to reinstall just the notepad application? maybe that might fix. Seems to me some other prob.
What error is it giving you? Your image isn't showing up for me...

Well it gives this error
"Windows cannot find <path name of the file>. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To Search for a file, Click the Start Button, and then click Search"
The file opens but each time with this error.
Edit: Typo
just done a Google and it come up with a few pages saying that its from a previous virus being removed. Just search up
"To Search for a file, Click the Start Button, and then click Search"
and youll find the pages. I was gonna go through them but theirs to much.
try fix it before it effects your other exe's
Nah I am pretty sure its not a virus.Quote:

The error message is a generic one it gives if you try opening the file from run using notepad. I have Mc Affee Pro all along and had Norton as well. There isnt any chance of viruses coming along.
But alas! Anything can happen.
I did a search didnt find anywhere like that. Do you mind posting the link where you found about that virus, possibly affecting the notepad.
BTW, I have been getting this error only in notepad for about more than 2-3 months now. No other indication of file corruption anywhere else.
