notepad not saving .html

RRD
On a school network, using notepad or wordpad, running windows xp, the
system is not allowing a save as FILE.html. it saves as .txt even when
set to 'all files' in notepad and 'text only' in wordpad. Im
wondering if there is a system setting that is preventing this.

In addition, if anyone knows of kid friendly html authoring sites, i
would appreciate some links for teaching html.

Thanx in Advance

Windows is moody. But putting the filename in quotes might work.

Unless we're talking about 7-year-olds, there's no need to give them
something special. Any correct HTML tutorial will work.

Ask in the microsoft.publi c.windowsxp.gen eral news group and they
probably know a fix.

Try choosing all files and specifying the .html extension. Alternately,
consider downloading something like Crimson Editor which will succeed more
easily.

Put the name in quotes. type in

"file.html"

(type the quotes, too) instead of

file.html

Notepad automatically puts .txt on.

How in-depth will you go?

"Kid friendly"? Are they incapable of learning unless a cartoon tells them
what to do and how to do it?

Besides the quotes which are already mentioned twice, you can always
save it as text and rename it to html afterwards. And if you need to
edit it again, choose "Open With ..".

Not sure what you mean by kid friendly, but I learned a lot from
http://www.w3schools.com/ and offcource by validating your HTML and CSS
(HTML: http://validator.w3.org/ CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
and check http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/).

I need to open an html document in notepad and save it using ANSI encoding. I can do this manually using notepad and File/Save-as, but is there a way to do this from VB. I can open a specific file using the shell command, but I can't find any syntax specifying encode values (the html is in Unicode and I need it in Ansi) Is there by any chance a notepad component, or something?

Hey, there! I'm new to vb.net and it seems I wouldn't be able to solve this without help. I have a pipe delimited file that has to be saved in txt format so it could be accepted by my DTS package. If I open and save the file manualy in Wordpad - it works. (not in Notepad otherwise formatting is changed and DTS package won't accept it.)
