in thread Which MS Windows?

Incidentally, "notepad" on its own does not work on Vista

It works for me under Vista?

The executable is located (via the path): 

C:\test>which notepad.exe
C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe

[download]

Which is the same place as it was in XP.

    Thanks for the inspiration!...Much appreciated... I have just written a "whereis" equivalent for windows. (I don't know where you got "which" but it is not in my standard setup...nor on the ones at work and I have to target unknown machines which do not have perl installed...Now why didn't I think about that earlier?

    Thanks again
