Shane:
OK so lets go down the check list...

1. Not the desktop service doing it
2. Not drivers doing it (Such as video) since it happens in safe mode as well and only the bare minimum of the drivers are loaded in safe mode.
3. Keyboard and mouse are good. Having you try completely different ones covered this.

From the sounds of your last post, it is now only notepad and notepad++ doing it, before you said other programs did it as well, but from the last post you said the others where not, correct?

Also does it happen if say you only open one? Say you only open notepad and not notepad ++. How does note pad do on its own? Does the problem seem to start only after you open notepad++?

The old timer:
Whether I open the notebook programs one at a time one first then the other or both together nothing changes.  The other thing that does the same sort of thing was as I mentioned the shutdown message.

Shane:
Ok, so how about the rest of the system if you go a while without opening either of those. Does it happen to anything else?

Shane

The old timer:
I don't know if Notepad is inherently different from other programs but I can across an unusual mention of 'Notepad' on the forum for the indexing program 'Everything'.

"Certain files under Windows Vista and Windows 7 are hard links.
"Everything" will not include hard links.
For example, on Windows 7 C:\windows\notepad.exe is a hard link to c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe
Only the original file c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe will show in "Everything".

Could this have bearing on current problem?

Shane:
No, they are just talking about junctions and symbolic links.

But you didnt answer my other question :-)
