You haven't said which programming language you are using? I can't see how you can open any file with notepad unless you saved it as a *.bat file. In VB6 you can use the ShellExecute API call to open any type of file that is registered in the registry.  -------------------- Keith

You need to remove the default association. What OS are you using?

Go to Control Panel, Programs, Defaults.
If you dig around you should find where you notepad is associated with .exe files. You can un-associate from there. -------------------- |
