notepad
A new copy of notepad.exe can be extracted from the Win Me cab set using
MSConfig | General - Extract File... and following the prompts. Alternatively, locate win_17.cab either in the Win9x folder on your Win Me CD or in ..\windows\options\install or ..\cabs, double click to open, select notepad.exe and drag to your windows folder. See MS KB129605 - "HOW TO: Extract Original Compressed Windows Files" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=129605) It is possible that your notepad.exe is missing due to your having received and subsequently cleaned the W32/QAZ trojan/worm. In which case look in your windows folder for the file note.com and rename it notepad.exe and you should hopefully be back in business. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP ed McCauley wrote: Somehow i lost notepad from my system, or at least anytime notepad is needed, it cannot be found.

Windows Temp folder
Mike, As long as you are so helpful, how does one clear
the Windows temp folder ?? and is there a place that clears it automatically and can you change how often it does that?? -----Original Message----- A new copy of notepad.exe can be extracted from the Win Me cab set using MSConfig | General - Extract File... and following the prompts.

Programs that use the Temp folder are supposed to clear it themselves... occasionally that doesn't happen; the DiskCleanup tool can help you in that regard: Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/DiskCleanup Unless you have a security reason that you need to wipe it clean all the time, just use DiskCleanup before you run Scandisk/Defrag every week or so.

Windows Temp folder
Not Mike here.....but there is nothing to clean it out automatically. Go to
Windows Explorer and highlight all that you want to get rid of and hit the Delete key. I clear mine out manually every day. Heather "Ed McCauley" wrote in message ...
