I would check the Windows XP installation CD. Look for wordpad.*.

Have a look on your machine. The executable is in the Accessories

folder but the .chm file is usually where the OP expects it to be.

Ooops! .chm went right over my head.

Re: wordpad

 

Just to clarify: wordpad.chm should be in c:\windows\help with all the other

help files, but isn't there or anywhere else on the computer. Maybe someone

could send me a copy of it or tell where I could download it

 

Thank you

Re: wordpad

 

Did you look on your WinXP CD, as I suggested?

What do you mean with "did not work"? Here is an extract from my

WinXP CD:

F:\>dir /s wordpad.*

Volume in drive F is XRMPFPP_EN

Volume Serial Number is CA65-734F

 

Directory of F:\I386

 

Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 25,620 WORDPAD.CH_

Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 74,426 WORDPAD.EX_

Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 4,500 WORDPAD.HL_

Thu 29/08/2002 14:00 2,134 WORDPAD.IN_

4 File(s) 106,680 bytes

 

Wordpad.ch_ is clearly visible. You simply need to expand it.

I'll give it a shot and let you know tomorrow

Re: wordpad

wordpad.ch_ :-(

Re: wordpad

 

Reset to zero. What is your problem? Wordpad is an optional program with XP.

Is it installed on your system?

If you do a search does if find a shortcut you can click on?

Re: wordpad

 

Very simple:

 

expand.exe e:\i386\wordpad.ch_ c:\windows\help\wordpad.chm

 

To get help on commands such as expand.exe, type this at the

Command Prompt:

expand /?
