Windows 10: Why are my VHD files set to open with note pad?

I made VHD files and for some reason instead of it having the image of a hard drive default image it shows an image of note padsIs there any way I can remove it to its default instead of open with?

:)

 

When I enter the event in the note pad and then close the screen, when I come back to the note pad the entries are all gone

Hi,

whenever we type any content in notepad and close it without saving then all the contents will get erased. To get the contents saved in your system you need to save the files.

Follow the steps below and check if it help.

• Open the note pad, enter the details.
• Click save on the top left
• Give a name to the file.
• Click on Save button. The files will get saved in the particular location.

I hope the information is helpful.

Thank you.

how to resize a vhd file?

Hi Papperboy3498,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We are glad to hear that you were able to fix the issue and I thank you for providing the information about how you fixed it.

The other way to resize the Virtual file is using the
DISKPART commands.

For example: Open the command prompt in administrator mode and follow these steps.

• Diskpart.exe
• Diskpart> Select disk 0
  
• Diskpart> Select volume 1 (Assuming your VHD is detected as volume 1)
  
• Diskpart> shrink desired=4*** minimum=2***(Where * indicates the amount of space you want to add)
  

Please feel free to contact us back, in case you face any other issues regarding Windows in future.
