NOTE PAD TRICK

  • How to add NOTE PAD in your SENT TO sub menu which you right click in every object.
  • By this you can send any file to your note pad even .jpg or .mp3 file too.

1. right-click desktop, choose "New >> Shortcut"

2. Type the location of the item - "notepad" - (that's all, no need to give path)

3. Next >> type name for shortcut - "Edit with Notepad"

4. Click finish

5. Now right-click this shortcut on the desktop, and choose properties.

6. Confirm that the "target" and "start in" fields are using variables - "C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe " - (absolute paths will be problematic if you use this .LNK on machines other than your own)

7. Now, browse to "%UserProfile%\SendTo" in explorer

which means

XP->"C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\SendTo\"

WIN7->” C:\Users\RANJITH\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo”

Folder.

8. And copy the "Edit with Notepad.lnk" file which you already created, to that folder.

9. So now, you can right-click on ANY file-type, and be offered an option to open with notepad, from the SendTo sub-menu.

So now, you just right-click on an .nfo or .eml or .diz file (which are associated with other programs, and are sometimes just plain-text files), and choose "Send To >> Edit with Notepad" and it will open in notepad!
