Associate .dat files to NotePad

Hi Rick

Right click a dat file, choose 'Open With' - Choose Another App

Important - Check the box marked 'Always use this app to open dat . . .'

If Notepad is not in the list, scroll to the bottom and click 'More Apps'

Again if Notepad is not in the list, at the bottom, click 'Look for another app on this PC', then navigate to find the Notepad application in C:\Windows\System32

 

Disable WebCacheV01.dat


Hi all, especially Sujay I hope.

I have just updated Windows 10 to the Aniversary version.
I have followed all the steps set out by Sujay to eliminate Windows – Continuous Disk Write + WebCacheV01.dat + V01.log – Issue

I have disabled “CacheTask“. To find this, open Task Scheduler from Administrative Tools, navigate to Microsoft > Windows > Wininet.
And I have eliminated the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}

But I still have WebCacheV01.dat in this folder: C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache

And this file is 26MB and always come up when I run CCleaner.
Any help would be much appreciated to totally eliminate this.

Oh, one other thing, if I open REGEDIT and search for the GUID
{3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}
I only find it in:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{0358b920-0ac7-461f-98f4-58e32cd89148}
Predetermined Type REG_SZ Data Wininit Cache Task Object
AppID Type REG_SZ {3EB3C877-1F16-487C-9050-104DBCD66683}


I would be gratefull for any help possible
