    It's a real common error. Might double check the M$ Instructions.

    Check in your registry for notepad.exe in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

    If it is there, it will open notepad every time you boot.

    Also check in Start>Programs>Start Up. If it is there, delete it.

    edit: I did this before going to Steve's link. Sorry :eek:
