Enough trolling. If you'd genuinely wanted help you'd have been grateful
for suggestions, and more forthcoming about your "program".

Bah, and indeed Humbug.

John,

Enough trolling. If you'd genuinely wanted help you'd have
answered the question, instead of pushing a work-around - regardless of me
indicating that I already had one.

> and more forthcoming about your "program".

Why ? So that you could fix problems that do not exist and waste both our
time with that ?

Besides, I think I was quite clear in my explanation to why I didn't provide
(the name of) that program. That you are refusing to accept that isn't my
problem, is it ?

John, I mentioned having problems with people who ignore my stated question
and than replace it with whatever they conjure up what my /real/ problem
must be - even if they have zero underbuilding for it (aka: are on a fishing
expedition).

You seem to be one of those people. :-(

By the way: for my current situation the solution using taskkill just before
opening wordpad works nicely. I don't need to use a different editor, and I
don't need to do some kind of a cleanup of temporary files either.

Based of the taskkill method I wrote a small launcher thingamagochy* that I
could put in the registry. And with it I've solved my "generic problem".

* for which I had the choice to use batch, script or executable.

Not a solution I've seen anyone here even /hint/ at ... And definitily not
one for which knowledge of the source of the document was needed* (and I
regret having even mentioned it :-( )

* which, even though I mentioned two other possible sources, was still
demanded.

It's OK, Rudy. Most of us understand that you're a mysterious Zen
master. And besides, this is a fun game, right? Let me try:

I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10 that I intend to
write to memory. So why did my office light bulb go out? ...Last
one to guess is a rotten egg.

Newyana2,

With the question I asked ? I seem to be regarded as a noob, one who
doesn't even know what to ask.

> this is a fun game, right?

A game ? A *game* ?!

Trying to to make you guys understand that what I'm asking is what I need to
know - besides again-and-again mentioning that the I've already considered
work-arounds and made my choice in that regard but that I do not want to use
a work-around ?

To see all my attempts to do so being ignored ?

/That/ game ?

You *got* to be kidding. :-((

Thats an old riddle. The answer is : pure coincidence. :-)

Unless the "office light bulb" you're talking about is your own mind, you
ate to little this morning causing a glucose deficiency and, while trying to
think of a number, you zoned/passed out. :-p

.... or should I have responded with "You say that, but what you /actually/
want to know is how much such a lightbulb costs". But for that I /ofcourse/
need to know who your power company is. <whistle>
