I have a file on my computer that is a read me file that should be opened in notepad or something but the icon is a windows media player file icon so of course when I try to open it Windows Media Player opens and says it cant open it, how do I make it so it will open in note pad or other program that will allow me to view it............................Im on Win 98 so it doesnt give me the "Open with" option..............

In your folder options, uncheck "hide file extensions for known file types" and change your explorer view over to List or Details. What is the filename and extension?

You will always have the open with option if you hold the shift key down when you right click on it.
