I replaced every instance with METAPAD.EXE (keeping ' %1') and though
everything else has changed, explorer still uses notepad. So I
trashed it, thinking that explorer would be smart enough to ask me
for a replacement. It has instead decided to barf up some error
messages regarding it's unavailability.
Now is it me, or is it MS commitment to using notepad exclusively?
Did I miss something?
