Sorry, that probably won't work either.  Notepad.exe is considered a system 
file, and as such is covered by Windows File Protection.  See 
http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/wfp/index.shtml for a good description.  You 
can get around it.  Either Disable WFP

or replace notepad.exe in the cache with your text editor and modify the 
registry in a few places and dance around naked sprinking chicken blood.
