If you check the message boards at http://www.mypeecee.org/rogsoft/ You'll find that this software has a number of problems with some systems. It seems to have been written for Win 95. You may be running into a limitation of the program, or your flash drive. Try Right-clicking the file and selecting "Open With". Which folders give you this problem? I've never seen any reason to replace Notepad or Wordpad, and don't understand the popularity of these replacement programs. Flash drives are good for moving files, and backups, but I hope you're saving the files to your Hard Drive as well. Lose the flash drive and you're out of luck. FWIW, I have a file in the root of my flash drives entitled "This Flash Drive belongs to..." which includes my contact info.
Hellow again, This never happened before and I'm not sure what information is important to explain this problem. I'm using Notepad+ as my "step-up" from the default Windows notepad. I save my files in a flash drive (which I recommend highly), Now the problem: >From some of the folders in that flash drive, I'm not able to open the .txt file; instead, I get that exclamation mark warning, "Could not open (name of file)". The title bar name of that warning window is "RogSoft Notepad+", RogSoft being the software manufacturer of Notepad+ (something I never knew until seeing this warning window). From many other folders there, I have no problem opening a .txt file. If I copy one of these stubborn .txt files onto the desktop, it opens easily. I copied some content from one of those .txt files, pasted it into the default windows notepad, saved it in one of the flash drive folders that gave me trouble, and that file also would not open (giving me the same warning window, only this time with plain "notepad" in the title bar). Bringing that file to the desktop and it opens easily (of course, in Notepad+ because using "open with" I had previously arranged that). Looking at the Properties of both files (one that opens and one that doesn't), the property information is the same. They both open with Notepad (shows the Notepad+ icon) and both have "Archive" checked. Anyone know what's Notepad+ happening here? ...
