    « on: August 14, 2013, 06:08:37 AM »
    This problem appeared yesterday:I cannot open any txt files. Any txt files that I creat or created before would not open.
    Error message:Windows cannot open the specific path, file or device. You may not have the appropriate permission to access it.
    Thanks for any help

      I clicked "open with", then "notepad". I still could not open it. That's what I thought the problem might be, but it did not work. :-\
