The locations should be: C:\Windows\Notepad.exe C:\Program Files\Accessories\Wordpad.exe Another text editor, though you may or may not be able to print from it is EDIT, just type EDIT at the Run Dialogue. -- Sincerely, Andrew H.

Try this:
1. Insert the Windows CD-ROM (or, if you have setup folder on disk (In Windows 98 it's named Win98.), skip this step) 2. Start Find Files or Folders 3. Choose the CD-ROM drive or the folder where are placed the setup CABs 4. Instert "notepad.exe" (without ") and search See the results. Should appear a CAB file - open it. If are more, open them all. Now, search Notepad.exe. When you find it, copy it to the windows directory (Start Run and insert "%windir%" (without ")) This is possible because the CAB and ZIP files have ASCII "Tables of Contents". Note: In my Win98, I find "notepad.exe" in Win98_40.cab, in Win98 folder of CD-ROM. I don't know what is the Write executable filename, but I found a file called "write.exe" in the same CAB. With write.exe, you can install it from Add/Remove Programs.

Greg; do a search first to see if you can find your notepad or wordpad in another folder where you can run a shortcut to it. If you cannot find either application on your computer somewhere, then try using your Windows restore disc and browse the CD for the two applications. If they are on it, you can reinstall them to your computer from the recovery/restore disc. |
