SYMPTOMS
When you try to open the Microsoft Access Readme.txt or Network.txt, you may receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This error results when Norton Desktop for Windows, one of the Norton utilities, has been deleted from your computer. This change causes Windows 95 to lose the association with the .txt files.
RESOLUTION
In Windows Explorer, associate your text files with Notepad, as follows:
- In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the View menu, and then click Options.
- Click the File Types tab.
- In the list of file types, click Text Document. The settings for that file type are shown in the File Type Details box.
- Click Edit.
- In the Actions box, click Open.
- Click Edit, and then specify the program you want to use to open files that have this extension. (If Notepad.exe is in its default location, type c:\windows\notepad.exe, and then click OK.)
