This might be the sign of a virus.





There were some malware which changed the location of Notepad.exe replacing it with thier own version of Notepad.





Get your system scanned by an antivirus.
Reply:First thing, are you trying to view a source code in a remote or local machine? Did you find the notepad.exe at C:\windows\system32\? If yes, did you able to execute it? You should. If not, then change the folder setting so that you can execute executable files.





I advice you to use Mozilla (Firefox) to view a source code better and easy without calling a text editor, you can view it in HTML formatted page which is native to all browsers.
