re: Question about 'Contents of the MSDOS.SYS File' Saturday, August 10, 2002 at 12:11 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by SiNGHsays (98 messages posted) hey RJ ! its just that the msdos.sys file is registered as a system file and earlier it might have been registered to open with notepad , which gave it the text file icon. the icon on a file is usually the icon of the program that is used to open that file. here's what we can try open the notepad from start->programs->accessories->notepad and drag the msdos.sys file into the notepad. and you should be able to see the file as bfore any questions or if you need further help , feel free to email singhsays@hotmail.com Regards SiNGH On Saturday, August 10, 2002 at 12:02 pm, revolver junkie wrote: >I looked at the msdos.sys file and it is not a text file.
