U can still make the notepad open without using the record or System utility script, just by mentioning the path of the notepad "( i.e., where the notepad.exe is stored in the system) in the "Windows Applications Tab" of the "Record and Run Settings window. Try it out. All the Best.

 Another alternative to open a notepad is to use ShellObject. Check out with the following example:

Dim a
Set a = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
a.run "notepad.exe"

By using Descriptive Programming, we can open notepad.

Set objfso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objfile = objfso.Createtextfile("path of text file",2,true)
Set objfso = Nothing
Set objfile = Nothing
