If notepad is called by some other portion of windows, the filespec displayed
when one goes to OPEN a file reflects the appropriate extensions (e.g. *.TXT or
*.CFG etc.)

How can I call Notepad and set this myself? For example, if I execute Notepad
from my cross-assemblers group I want a default of *.asm, rather than having to
either wade through an ALL FILES (*.*) list or explicitly set *.ASM after
starting Notepad.
