    Never mind. So it's wordpad then. Just merge the reg file as asked. Then try opening an rtf document.

    Screenshot paste: You'd have to paste it into "Paint" or something then save the image and upload it by attaching it to a post.

    Several times you were asked to merge that file.

    Download. Right Click. Choose Merge.

    thanks everyone, but that's it, thought this would be a simple thing. but, once again, I cant figure it out, feel ridiculous dragging it out for so long. have to print copies right off the 'wordpad' page before restart/reboot so its not lost., or back to pencil and paper.

    I think that it is likely that if you merged that reg file then your saved .RTF documents would open directly in Wordpad.

    It really is simple. Explain which part or parts of the following you cannot figure out please:

    1. Download the file. From the link I posted.
    2. Save it somewhere. If you don't get to choose where to save it then check your downloads folder.
    3. Right click the file
    4. A context menu appears with choices.
    5. Click merge.
    6. Ignore any warning and allow the merge.

    Done.

    This is how I do it.
    Open WordPad in control panel

    create your document and save as Rich Text document (File and hover over Save as to show option to pick)

    In the window that opens select desktop and scroll to find and select (double click) your named folder and select save.

    ...and there's that bluish looking sheet of paper again, with the big red "A", that says "WordPad".....just like I said I have.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I dont show wordpad in control panel.

    - - - Updated - - -

    it went into the desktop folder, but I can see the "W" in it. I dbl clk the folder to look up the stuff, and I get the same "word/sign in to get started w/msoft office/get started w/msoft 365" stuff.

    Right-click the document.rtf file, select "Open with", "Choose another app", highlight "Wordpad", check the box marked "Always use this app to open .rtf files" and click "OK".
