Microsoft ships two different copies of notepad with the OS, so they should NOT be the same anyway. I never have figured out why they do that. The system32 copy will start from the start menu shortcut (which directs to that specific copy), while the %WINDOWSDIR% copy will start from a cmd prompt (or run menu) due to the %PATH% variable. There should only be one wordpad installed.

One in WINNT (or WINDOWS) and the other in SYSTEM32. Check that both exe's are the same, the one in the WINNT (or WINDOWS) folder will run first if you just type notepad.exe in the start menu run command... Not sure about WORDPAD, but just thought I'd mention the above about notepad.

If I run notepad from the start menu run command it loads correctly but when I go to "save" or "save as" it immediatly crashes. When I go to the run command and type "c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe" everything works correctly but this does not happen if you run word or excel only from system applications. We have eliminated the GPO but now wondoring if this is a local policy? Is so does anyone know where I can start to look? Same behavior from both RDP and ICA. I just ran filemon and now am going to try regmon but thought in the mean time if someone can help me out that would be great.
