tuska,
Also Notepad2e.

Thanks for the tip - I didn't know this version yet.
I am now slightly confused by the different versions of Notepad, because I thought Notepad3 was the latest version.

But I won't look into the difference between Notepad2e and Notepad3 any more,
because I always use the latest EmEditor Professional (64-bit) [beta] version anyway.

Well, you have kind of solved your problem by working around it. It's still unclear whether or not C:\SysWOW64\notepad.exe works on your system. If it doesn't you're likely to run into this issue again eventually (other programs might use Notepad, too).

All of them are forks, i.e. different versions maintained by different authors.
