I don't see notepad when I right click on a file to send to
 

I am in the process of learning to import files with a csv ext. When I right
click on the file to send it to notepad, it does not come up as an option to
send the file to.
Has anyone else run into this?
Thanks

Here is a quick article about file association rules in windows.

A Windows function, rather than Excel. Find the SendTo folder, and put a
shortcut to notepad.exe in there.

I don't think that this is a standard windows setup.

But you can add it to your context menu.

This is one way (I'm not sure if there's an easier way)...

Windows start button|Run
type this
Sendto
and hit enter.

I see this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\(usernamehere\SendTo

Rightclick on an empty spot
choose New|Shortcut
Point at your notepad.exe
(Mine is in C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE, but you can browse/search for it, too)

Give it a nice name (I remove the .EXE--just because I like it that way).

Now open a folder with a .csv file in it.
rightclick on it
choose SendTo
choose notepad
