Suddenly when I open a specific notpad file a content blocked message apears (see attachment). There are two choices:

1.) accept
show complete content
2.) ok
Do not show blocked content

Unfortunatly there is no choice to show the blocked content.
The file content is text and pictures (jpg).

As I did not asume the pictures to be the problem I copied the text of both choices into a separate text file
and run a diff on them.
Result: absolutely identical!

So where is the problem?

NotePad files (i.e. true .txt files) cannot contain pictures - they're a text-only file format.

WordPad files, on the other hand, can contain both text and images.

Perhaps your problem files have been given the wrong extension and WordPad is complaining because the file's content does not match the file extension.
