Stephanie,

1. Clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Options> General> Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the TIF folder be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.

2. If you have a shortcut to Notepad.exe on the desktop, rename it.

3. Is notepad.exe undamaged and installed to the proper directory?

and

Hope this helps,
Don

You said that you checked notepad.exe existed and was in the correct
path. Did you check if:

- notepad.exe is in memory (maybe it hung on last use when attempted to
close).

- notepade.exe actually loads okay by itself. Tried opening a file with
it?

Did you check if notepad.exe was specified as the default editor for IE?
Look under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Default HTML
Editor\shell\edit\command
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared\HTML\Default
Editor\shell\Edit\command

Also look under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive on the same keys. Mine have
a "(default)" data value of:

C:\WINNT\notepad.exe %1
