How are you creating these text files? What is the size of their
extended attributes (do a DIR or go to Properties..File..page2)?

For any specific file: Go to the file's Properties..Menu and click on
the ^Open as line to highlight it. Then click on the Properties
line to highlight it also. Then click on the Properties button. Then
under Default action choose whatever program you want. Then click
OK .

To completely eliminate the Note Pad associations, go to its Properties
menu and look under the Associations tab. (On my system, Note Pad is on
the desktop under Programs..Windows Programs. Remove all the Type and
Extension associations and Note Pad won't be associated with your files
any more.)
