I don't know why your computer crashes when you try to associate txt files with Wordpad. That's strange. I can't remember the last time I had a computer actually crash.
You could always do a sendto link to Wordpad. That might be a little faster than open with. All you have to do is create a shortcut to Wordpad and then put it in your Documents and Setting/(your user name)/Sendto folder. It will then appear in your right click sendto menu.

The problem that bugs me the most is that all of my .txt files insist on opening up in Word, now that I've installed it. I was perfectly happy having my simple .txt files opening with WordPad. I've tried to change the association back to WordPad, but my computer crashes when I set this association until I let it have it's way and change the association for .txt files back to Word! Of course, I CAN open them with WordPad by using "open with" and waiting for the whole list to display, or from within WordPad. I only installed MS Office (parts of it) because most of the world insists upon it. WordPerfect never caused such a problem for me. Word takes a long time to open on my machine, and uses a LOT of resources that Win98 doesn't seem to want to release when I close it. Therefore I have to either jump through the hoops (remembering to open through WordPad) or reboot the computer to get the resources back. I guess one can't have everything?
