Changes to a file with plain text editor
If I wanted to change a setting in a file, say AUTOEXEC.BAT using a plain
text editor to make the change, How would I: (a) open a command prompt and (b) open the file for editing? |

The simple way is using notepad, which is a plain editor. But if you want to do it the hard way: Open command prompt: Start-Run-Command Open the file: edit C:\Autoexec.bat |

You don't need to open a command prompt to edit the file. In Windows Explorer, simply right-click on the file name, and select "edit" John |

You could open the text editor first and browse to open Autoexec.bat,
though you already have a plain text method of opening Autoexec.bat Use Sysedit.
