Hi Kevin, In the Default Programs module, below "Set your default programs" is "Associate a file type or protocol with a program". .txt should be listed with Notepad as the "Current Default". If not, I'll have to see if I can figure out how Windows 7 deals with adding extensions and associating them with programs.

Hello, I don't know what I have done. I now can't seem to get text files to open with notepad anymore! I have to hit application's key and go to open with hitting enter used to just open notepad but not any more. I went into default programs but can't see anything about notepad, I went into file association's and I can't see a text extension to associate note pad with this file. Any help would be appreciated.
