At the very top of it, the title bar (and possibly other similar NotePad replacements), is the path to where the file has been saved or kept. For example, (regarding my recent posts on the BSOD and enabling the ntbtlog file); that file's path is at "C:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt", but when I open the file the Metapad title bar shows "c:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt". If I go to "File" > "Save as...." it goes back to the uppercase drive letter "C:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt"! I close it then open again it's back to "c:\WINDOWS\ntbtlog.txt". This happens with ALL text files now regardless of where they are located. It's really bugging me as to why or how this started happening. -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/cheap_reliable_web_hosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Moore" Maybe it's too early ... but I don't understand what you are saying. I even downloaded Metapad and still don't know. Where is it that the drive letters have changed? Ben -----Original Message----- Does anyone have any idea what would make all of my drives' letters from uppercase to lowercase when opening a text file?? Every time I open a text file, the prefix drive letter is now lowercase. I find it most annoying, especially since I have no idea why it would start doing this. I have done nothing to the PC. It doesn't matter where the file is, C, D, or E, all lowercase now. I use Metapad for text files (Notepad doesn't show the path), but Metapad requires NO installation and there are no settings for this.
