notepad.exe disconnect
« on: October 20, 2004, 11:33:41 AM »
Howdy!

Some sort of malware disconnected the notepad program's ability to be called into service by numerous programs. I'm not sure whether the malware killed the program or what, but I downloaded another and overwrote the old just in case. The Merijn site has an oversimplistic description of how to "reconnect". The program is there in my Windows ME accessories file but when a program wants to access notepad the "cannot find notepad.exe" message appears.

Can someone please provide step by step instructions on how to reestablish whatever path is necessary to "reconnect"?

Much Appreciation,

Brad

merlin_2,

This is the 4th time to Merijn.org in dealing with this glitch and today for some reason it worked... obviously it was your mystical mind and magical touch.

Thank You!
