Hi,
I'm unable to run programs written in notepad on my machine on mine or any other machine. But my friends's programs also written in notepad on their machines run on mine. Does this mean my notepad has got corrupt?

What operating system are you running? I know that with my Windoz98 machine, if I use note pad, and save the file as:
myfile.java
it is still written as
myfile.java.txt
An easy way to check if you have this problem is to look at your file under windows explorer. If the "icon" looks like a "text" or "txt" icon next to the file, this is your problem.

Use save-as and save your file inside double quotes, "myfile.java" when using notepad and you won't have a problem with .txt extensions

With my version of Notepad (Windows 98), I usually select "Save As" the first time I save. A drop down window for Save as Type offers the option of 1) Text Documents or 2) All files(*.*). If you select All Files you only need to put in your file name myFile.java without quotes.
When I open Notepad, the default file type comes up as Text Documents. If I change it to All Files on the open, I only need to put in the file name and do a Save.
