  1. Notepad Opening File Complications


    While I was downloading something I received the option to use Notepad to help download a mod for a game of mine, I accidentally clicked the "open all files using Notepad" option, which, every time I open apps it opens with Notepad which doesn't let me use the app but shows the coding or words and numbers. I deleted notepad trying to stop the files from opening like that but it seems to still be opening like this. How do I get my apps and files to work normally again and stop notepad from opening all my files.

    :)

  2. How do I get Notepad to list recently opened Notepad files?

    Today, right clicking on the Notepad icon on the taskbar has stopped giving a list of recently open Notepad files. This list is extremely useful to me. Is there any way to recover this feature ?

    UPDATE: When I left click and right click several times, there intermittently appears the list of recently open Notepad files. But I don't have a reliable method for accessing this list. Grrr.

    Will much appreciate help.

  4. Notepad Opening File Complications

    ALL my files and folders opens with notepad

    Hi Sabrina,

    Files may open in notepad or other applications if the file associations is not configured correctly. File association is a setting where you choose a program that can open a certain file. For example, for .docx files, you can set it to be opened through
    Microsoft Word and once you open a file with that extension, it should open with the app that you set.

    To better isolate the issue, please provide us more information by answering the questions below:

    • What are the specific files affected?
    • What is the extension of the files? You may check this by right-clicking on the file itself then click
      Properties. The information should be in the Type of File
      field.
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We're looking forward to your response.
