Hi Fred
I have had the exac same problem, seems to be associated with 'SpeedDial',
what I do it left click once on the file so that it is selected, then hold
down the shift button and right click on the file, then gives you the option
'Open With', and use choose open width Notepad, or wordpad. Works well, but
a bit of a hassle each time :-)
Regards
Warren
