windows ate notepad.

[Vagrant]

My computer has managed to change notepad.exe to something called "clean manager". What Cab file is notepad in and how do I get it out without reinstalling??

What OS you using?

For 98 and Me, there's an extract file option. Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Information>Tools.

For 98 it's system file checker.
For ME is Tools>System Configuration Utility>Extract File.

do you know why this happened? if not, then insure this wasn't due to a virus...

 

[Kanly]

there's one virus around that changes notepad.exe into note.com
and makes itself notepad.exe.

You should run a virus scan to be sure.

Thx for bringing that up Spiff, forgot about a virus.

It was a virus!
Cheers for the assist
System is back to as normal as it gets
