I kinda blew that initial message. WordPad works fine except on some new
*.DOC files I've been getting in e-mail.  Word Pad opens then displays
the Page Default message.

I don't find WordPad listed in Add/Remove or with RegCleaner. I've looked
on the I'Net for a d/l but didn't find one. I don't have an original Win 
CD, it's an HP computer and only the Recovery CD is available, there's no
WordPad on it.

What a PITA!

Thanks, XMan...
