For example when saving with notepad it asks "do you want to replace file..." and gives two choise
yes and no with first letters y and n underlined. Now the last letters s and o are underlined
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

The underlined letters indicate keyboard shortcuts.
An underlined Y means you can hit the Y key instead of click YES.

Wes,

I see that. I don't see what difference it makes, unless one
doesn't have a mouse.
 
How interesting! This is hard coded into the program. I would suggest
pulling a good copy out of dllcache. The question is checking into where
the confirmation prompt is coming from. Alt keys can be hidden via the GUI
and changed via scripting using SendKey, but I have never seen this changed
by the system on its own. Good luck and keep us posted.

When deleting files eg. from the desktop, it is ok ( (y)es and (n)o ) but with notepad is is not.
I tried the search words such as "yes" and "ye&s" with any good result, so it is hard coded.
Can I safely replace the "corrupted" file with original? And what is this file?

(Actually it is not yes and no... my system is Finnish so it is Kyllä and Ei... I used English
because I think using Finnish in here will not get me anywhere:)

For example, in Irfanview, I am used to press ctrl-s and y when saving a file..
I have a mouse, but I find out that weird feature very annoying..

Thanks for all help this far..

Hi Pii,

Thanks for the feedback.

Go to: C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache. Scroll down to notepad.exe, right
click: copy and paste it into: C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32.

If that doesn't help: Go to Start/Run/Msconfig/Expand File and extract a
fresh copy. Good luck!

I think that the problem is in the system level. Problem occurs with Irfanview and some othe
applications, but not when deleting file from folder, emptying trash and so on..

I think the easiest way is to run 'repair xp installation', but this is interesting..
is there any tweakui-style program to personalize windows standard dialogs

Thanks for all help so far..

Hi,

Most welcome. There are ways to modify/personalize the Common Dialogs to an
extent. Without knowing exactly what you are trying to accomplish:

For Pro:

1. Run the Local Group Policy Editor (Start, then Run, then gpedit.msc)
2. Open the following policy:

For Pro:

Go to Start/Run and type in: gpedit.msc then navigate to:

User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/ Windows
Explorer/Common Open File Dialog/Items Displayed in Places Bar.

Choose Enabled then paste or type the link to the folders that you want
listed.

Or...

Add Folders to the "Save As" Dialog (Places Bar) Line 118
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

Or use TweakUI/Common Dialogs
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp

Tip:

To hide the Common Places Bar: For Pro go to Start/Run and type in:
gpedit.msc. User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows
Components/Windows Explorer/Common Open Places/Hide the common dialog places
bar.

Note: To see the difference between the views, open Notepad and choose
File/Open before and after applying Enabled.

Good luck on your repair install and let us know if it corrected the issue.
BTW, do you know what provoked it? Third party......?
