I have this weird thing going:

When I try to open a text file, notepad won't open.
I double click the file and nothing happens.

Same goes when I right click my mouse on a webpage and click view source. Notepad opens but no text is shown. empty.

If I open notepad, and click file>open, then I can open any file, but not otherwise..

anyone had this before? I'm lost for ideas..

Try to clear your cache. I've had that happen before where I can't view source and that was the fix.

Clear your temp internet files...

in IE (6) go to Tools-> Internet options and hit the delete files button, and tick the checkbox to delete all offline content...close all your browsers and there ya go..

hth...

Have you tried clearing your temp files and IE cache?

Edit: too slow :D

There is a stupid virus that fucks up Media Player and Notepad. Better reinstall/replace notepad.exe

re-install notepad or use wordpad! If both doesnt work.. just download a simple TXT editor from download.com !

Same here ... I installed texpad (wich count lines ... easier to debug your html files too) . It's working way better
