TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
- Why not use WordPad instead of NotePad? It's much more capable
and AFAIK is included with all flavors of Windows. You'd
probably have to switch the txt file "link" (sorry I can't think
of the right jargon at the moment) from NotePad to WordPad, but
that's about it.
- If you really want NotePad back, you should be able to extract
it from the cabinet files on your Windows CD. Microsoft has a
general procedure for extracting the files in the knowledge base
article Q129605, "How to extract original compressed Windows
files", on their website www.microsoft.com. This article doesn't
address WinNT and I haven't tried to do this from NT.
If you're interested and you're running Win 98, I'd be happy to
send you a procedure I wrote this weekend on extracting a file
from the Win 98 CD. (I wrote it for a friend who accidentally
deleted a Windows file. It doesn't have all the extra material
that's in the knowledge base article.) If you want it, let me
know and I'll send it to you when I get home.
Hope this helps.

Maggie asks:
Is there anyway to get a new copy of Notepad without
reinstalling Windows altogether?
