OK, to make a long story short I wanted to tryout Notepad+ and after figuring out there were about three copies to replace on XP so it wouldn't overwrite it, I got it working.

I eventually ended up using Wordpad and starting to love the RTF format (started writing more and the rich text just made things a lot easier). So I no longer needed NP+, I missed my baby.

The thing is, when I click a txt file now it pops up a couple errors. In addition to the fact it has two listings of Notepad in the shell. See, I replaced NP+ with a backup of the original, however I believe they're confused now.

I uninstalled/reinstalled the Accessories components, but this did not fix it. Any ideas?

hum... bummer man... wonder if you can copy/paste the folder that notepad is in from an install that still works.

Well, it works...but because of the double entries in the shell, it tries to open the notepad that isn't there by default...instead of opening the correct one.

How could I delete the shell entry?

on your winxp disk there sould be a folder called extras and in it you should find regclean or you can grab it off the net. It might fix\delete that entry.
