Re: [Other] .nt file extension association
To add some info and respond to a couple of comments. This is a w2k box, so system restore is not available.
Perhaps it is not a file association issue as upon closer review within the "file type" section it does not actually list .nt as an extension. When viewing the file in an explorer window, it shows the notepad icon. I just assumed that had to be the reason. This is a freshly formatted machine that I have set up dozens like before for this customer. I actually copied the config.nt file from another working PC and get the same error.
I ran the command that Dave suggested and still have the same issue as well.
I attached the exact error that comes up. I get this same error when simply typing "edit" from within a DOS prompt. Perhaps I am not diagnosing the error properly when thinking it is association related.
I'm all ears for other suggestions.

Fisher, IL | When you opened, and edited, config.nt in notepad, did it get saved as config.nt.txt by mistake?
Any long lines get "word wrapped"?
Was file saved as "plain text" and encoding ANSI.
Just my 2 cents. |

Also, I will try the link supplied by PapaDos tomorrow.

Fisher, IL | Is it still "config.nt.txt" ? It will need to be renamed back to "config.nt" if it is. |

2 edits | I believe -- but in this high-powered crowd, I am not certain -- that you need make sure that "Hide file extensions for known file types" is not checked. Otherwise it is a PITA to Rename anything!
Go to "Folder Options | View" -- any way you like -- and UNcheck "Hide file extensions for known file types". This may, or may not, help you.

Certainly if the file was renamed with a .txt extension it would become unusable. |
