Notepad Popup?

D

darkrats

If I make a link to a text file, the text appears inside a viewer's browser.

Is there anyway to make a text file link that will put the text in notepad
on the viewer's computer?

Thanks.

No, not from a link

Launching Notepad would require running a system command from a browser window which can't be done.

You can tell them to right click and save to their computer and then double click to open the file.

No. You can not launch apps on a user's machine from within a web page.
