Well isn't your thinking just stuck in the box? When you think outside
of the box, you realize every Notepad.exe has this bug.

If by "the box" you mean reality, then yes.

If you don't want to be treated as a troll, stop sounding like one.

You mean the one that doesn't exist, and never existed ?

Of course, however, he now qualified this bug by saying that the file corruption
happens after he copies and pastes from Notepad, not while saving with notepad,
which is what his original intention was.

This is easily evidenced by the fact that early on, after the first one or two people
couldn't reproduce, he re-tried, and couldn't get it to "corrupt" the file. He posted here
saying....."what the hell"..."I know I'm not making this up."

Most sensible reply yet.

I have now run the W7 disc installing the setup as an update from within
XP OS.

This went smoothly allowing an update to W7 even to the part where it
transferred and kept the serial over into W7. No extra drivers were
necessary, the partitions were not touched and the hidden restore
partition is still on the HDD of the laptop.

haven't had any feed back as to what has happened to the file structure
although it was all backed up so a clean install was possible if necessary.

So its now up and running W7 ultimate.

Once you're convinced that all of your apps and files are reinstated
under Windows 7, then you will have to clear up the Windows.old folder
using the Disk Cleanup wizard, you can't simply delete it yourself.

Most likely yes but its been returned with every thing still on the HDD
too bad if it still has the old folder there problem :)
