Saving files in Notepad...

Hi. I do some website designing for friends and I use Notepad for editing.
When I edit a webpage I created I open Windows Explorer, scroll to my
Websites folder, right-click on the .html file, select Edit using Notepad,
make the necessary changes, save the file and close it. Now, when I attempt
to save an edited file I get this error message:

"Cannot create C:\Users\username\Websites\Factotum\index.html file.

"Make sure the path and file name are correct."

The only way I can save an edited file is to change its name, so I now have
"index1.html", "index2.html", etc. This is crazy. I've never had to go
through such nonsense before. This has only begun since I've had Vista.

Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

Thanks.

Not me, I installed Opera and MS Explorer quit working.
And Adobe in Vista fails to open when I download a pdf file
but rather I have to down load to a file and then load into
a pdf reader. I now use Foxit reader for pdf files.

And since I have the newer Vista, it doesn't include
file find. I use file find!!!!

Next time, I'll choose another operating system......Trig

Hi,

I don’t know if this will help but this is successful for me in XP and Vista
Home Premium with SP1.

How to edit HTML of a webpage using notepad:

1) Go to webpages folder. Open webpage such as index file With Notepad
2) edit the webpage text
3) Save to original folder
4) Close Notepad

I’ve had no problems with this in Vista. You're probably doing it the same
way, but at least you know that it's suppose to work in Vista... and it does.

I still use Acrobat 5. None of the crapware that the later versions are
stuffed full of.
