I thought Windows notepad was for writing a document and then being able to copy it off if you have a copier. When I opened it, it had all sorts of 'writing' on it- it looked like it was something to do with what sites I had visited. I see it says you can write a web page, what am I looking for to write a letter? Thanks, anyone.
 
If you open such files as .cfg, .html. blah blah with notepad, yes you could modify them using array codes and html codes and things...
I will either use Microsoft WORDs or a Wordpad, not a notebook
 
Just launch notepad from the start menu and start typing. But even WordPad is a lot better then notepad.
 
I am looking at the icon at the top of my microsoft internet explorer bar- it looks like a pad of paper with a pencil. It says 'edit with notepadd', when you put the curser over it. It does not open to a blank screen- it has letters/numbers, that look like sites that I have already been on- I am confused as to what/why it opens like this.
 
It's probably just opening up the source code for the website that you're currently looking at in which case the output will look something like this;

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 3.6.7" />

e.t.c
 
might also want to look into notepad+, and nfo viewer, which are both excellent alternatives to notepad/wordpad

i prefer wordpad, myself, and have it set as the default viewer for all text/nfo documents

Thats why. When you click that it opens the source code of the web page with notepad.
