What have they done? AARGH! I often use notepad for editing files (up to 500k), works fine...but not in ME! WHY? When I open a file with (or send a file to) notepad it automatically switch to Wordpad! Why doesn't windows ask anything anymore?
Ok, so wordpad isn't that horrible, BUT since I also usually want have several copies open of the same file it really screws up! Example: I want to open WinME.suc (500kB) with notepad, when I send the file to notepad windows Me switches to wordpad. When I the second time send winME.suc to notepad (the file have been edited since last time) windows just throws the previously opened winME.suc on top! I really wanted the latest version of the file opened...
Why do Microsoft do this, win 9x used to ask things like do you want to open with wordpad and Do you want windows to automatically search for drivers. Same thing with office 2000, it IS annoying when it doesn't even ask before doing something!
Are there any settings for the limit before changing to wordpad?
Are there setting for always opening in a new note/wordpad?
I wish there were setting to disable ALL automatically thing done in windows!!!
Does it help to copy the notepad.exe from Win9x?
