Hello,
I use windows XP ver.2002, Service pack 2.
I am getting a very strange error.
I am unable to open any file with extension".ini"
If I create any text file, type some text and save it with extension ".ini"
and try to open it using notepad (or by double clicking), it gives following
messege:
"The file name, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"
But same file opens properly if I try to open using "Wordpad".
What is wrong ? Is there any problem with Notepad setting ?
Please reply.
Thanks in advance.

You should try to locate a newsgroup with the name "windows" in it.
This is a group for DotNet programmers/developers.

Sorry, i selected General Discussion.
But the problem I mentioned below arised in my VB.Net application.
I need to read some data from a .ini file. After struggling for a long time
i tried to open tht file manually and then I realized i can not open it.

It sounds like the file association is messed up for ini files. Look at this
link and see if it truly is using Notepad to open them. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u.../filetype.mspx

Have you rebooted recently?
That's a weird issue.
Try
Reboot.
Under Windows Explorer.......
Tools / Folder Options / File Types
and remap "INI" to notepad.
I don't know, its really weird.
There used to be a "Take Ownership" command in NT...I don't know what it
might be (if it exists) in XP.

Hi sloan and Family Tree Mike,
I did exactly the same as mentioned in the link, but in File Types option,
when I select INI option, it correctly shows Opens with: Notepad. But still
file does not open with notepad.
