It's a completely incorrect behavior always to open executable text files with Text Editor - lots of executable installers are very big (200-500Mb) and opening very big files with Text Editor causes freeze of operating system for several minutes on older computers, try for example to open Unigine_Valley-1.0.run on computer with 1GB RAM or less: http://unigine.com/products/valley/download/
