Thinking of returning to Notepad...

Post by Pc72 »

Hi

two problems that are getting me down with this tool.

1. If I dag in files to Win2000 or Win XP from an NT share Textpad hangs
2. In notepad, I can run notepad command from Dos and control is returned back to the dos prompt, textpad hogs the process until you close it.

Does anyone have some fixes for these short comings.

1) is there a firewall/virus checking software active?



2) can't reproduce that - on Win2K system, textpad is started. Dos box (which gets put in the background) can be used again immediately.
Have you tried to use start (as a workaround)?
Instead of
"c:\program files\Textpad 4\textpad.exe" yourfile.txt
try to call
start "c:\program files\Textpad 4\textpad.exe" yourfile.txt
