Notepad is actually more use full than you think once you know how to use it. There are tons and tons of stuff you can do with it other than writing simple text documents.

Today I am going to go through a few things you probably didn't know about Notepad. Use full or not I find them cool.

Before we start all the files were going to make require you to end it in a .bat,  for example " random.bat ".  Also these NotePad tricks are guaranteed to work with Windows XP so test them out if you have a different Operating Systems and tell us what works. After we have that settled lets begin.



START PROGRAMS OR OPEN UP FOLDERS:

You can start programs in NotePad easily. All you need to do is open up NotePad and type

START " PROGRAM NAME HERE".EXE

for example "START NOTEPAD.EXE ".

Then we go to File-Save As type the name you want it to be called and remember end it with .bat not .txt or .html or any other just .bat. You can also open up folders by writing

START C://

.


OPEN COMMAND PROMPT

@echo off start

OPEN INTERNET EXPLORER OR FIREFOX

For IE it is

@echo off start iexplore

For Firefox it is

@echo off start firefox.exe

WRITE A MESSAGE

@echo off * ENTER MESSAGE HERE

HOW TO MAKE THE MATRIX

@echo off
color 2
:start
echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%
goto start
