    I was typing some information in Notepad.

    I was in a hurry and saved it as xs.com.

    This saved it as file type: MS-Dos Application in stead of at text.

    I receive this error message when I try to open it.

    never mind.

    If someone wants to know what to do.

    A more permanent solution would be to rename the file to the correct type, e.g., xs.txt.
