    Hello,

    I am facing a strange problem.
    Whenever I try to open any file with extension ".ini" (either by double clicking or open with Notepad), I following messege is displayed.
    "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

    Same file opens if I open it using wordpad.

    The problem is occuring with all ".ini" files. If I create a text file, type something and save it with extension .ini, I cant open it by double clicking or by right click - open with - notepad.

    Please help to solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance.
    Amit

    Try to open the file manually......Open the notepad...then browse your file and open it.

    but my query is, WHY it cant open by "double clicking" or by "right click - Open with - Notepad"
    Also if I select Notepad and check checkbox - "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file", files with extension .ini do not open
