hello peepz.. i just saved a couple of email addys that my cousin gave me of some other cousins, and i saved it on notepad, but unfortunately i saved the file as “.com” and now im unable to open the notepad. It starts opening on MS-DOS.. how do i change it back to simple notepad??? i tried changing the name of it, but didnt help..

i could have asked for it again from my cousin, but hes in montreal and i wont be talkin to him for another month or so..

if anyone know how i can change and open it back to normal notepad, that’ll be great.

Thanks.

open MS-DOS..

browse to file..
then open it using : edit [filename]
after that save it with whatever extension you wanted to …

yeap change the extension.

you can also open a text editor and open the file with it and then save as to w/e u want.

Re: :( need to open this file..

Did you try to "right-click" on the file as people above suggested? If you did you definately would not see the black screen.

Re: :( need to open this file..

Right click on the file, ( with SHIFT button pressed)... then select OPEN WITH and then select NOTE PAD or WORD PAD>. :)

Re: :( need to open this file..

Uninstall Vista.

You even get that on Vista!

Keep the shift button pressed then right click on it, you might then get it

or just rename the files extension to .txt
make sure you enable the viewing of known file types?

ok lets do it other way...

Open Wordpad

then go to file>>open

browse to the file and select it

Click open.

it should now open in wordpad as text.

Go to command prompt in the directory where the file is & run it like this

C:> ren filename.com filename.txt

& thats pretty much it.
