Hi,

You have to put this in the registry to open all files with the extension
*.000 with notepad.


**********************************

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.000]
@="000_auto_file"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\000_auto_file]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\000_auto_file\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\000_auto_file\shell\open]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\000_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\NOTEPAD.EXE %1"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.000]
@="000_auto_file"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\000_auto_file]
@=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\000_auto_file\shell]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\000_auto_file\shell\open]
@=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\000_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\NOTEPAD.EXE %1"

I hope this helped?
