Add Notepad To Your Send-to Options

John Howard writes: I was setting up a new virtual machine (for playing with Windows Server 2003 R2 as it happens, but that's for another day) this morning and getting frustrated when you double-click files which have no application associated with them. On most machines, I add notepad for the list of options to "Send" a file to. Then you can right-click a file in Windows Explorer, select "Send To" and then "Notepad". To quickly set this up:

Open Windows Explorer

Navigate to \Documents and Settings\UserName\SendTo

Right-Click and select "New Shortcut"

Notepad.exe as the program

Notepad as the name
