NOTEPAD.EXE

For some reason my computer no longer has this application
in it's system. Is there anywhere I can download it from
and if not how do I go about getting it?

Appreciate some help as I use it to do web pages!
Thanks

Did you get your computer from a pirate who bought one copy of Win98 and
just installed it on hundreds of hard disks?

Start-Run SFC. Specify C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE (assuming that you have
Windows installed in C:\WINDOWS). Under "Restore from", specify either
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS (if you have this folder on your system) or
D:\WIN98 (where D is your CD-ROM drive letter, to restore from the CD-ROM).

There are much better editors than Notepad. E.g. TextPad

The first thing you need to do is run a full scan of your hard drive with an
up to date anti virus program. Some virus made use of the notepad.exe file.

Notepad.exe is a standard W98 file that you can extract from your CD to the
Windows folder using sfc.exe.

Run sfc.exe and select the "extract one file..." option. Type in the
complete name of the missing file you want to restore or use the browse
button for a file replacement. Click start and in the resulting window,
browse to the location of the folder containing the W98 .cab files (either
the hard drive or CDRom drive). If the information in the "save in" box is
wrong, use the browse button to show where the file is to be restored to.
Click OK and if appropriate, on the resulting screen, show the location
where the file being replaced is to be backed up to. Click OK or skip as
appropriate. Restart your computer and the file replacement will occur
during the boot process.

If you are going to use sfc.exe for other than the extract option, I highly
recommend that you first read the article he
