Thank you for using Scratch Pad Version 2.2 You must be running Windows 95/NT to use this program. To install Scratch Pad: Create a temporary directory. Move scratch5.zip into this temporary directory and then unzip it. Run the Setup.exe program. Delete the temporary directory. That's all there is to it! In addition to the Start | Programs | Scratch Pad icon created by the setup program, the setup program will ask about four additional options for accessing Scratch Pad. 1) The first option is to access Scratch Pad from the Send To menu. Checking this option will add Scratch Pad to the menu that appears under Send To when you right-click on a file name. 2) Check the second option to place a shortcut to Scratch Pad on the desktop. 3) The third option is to access Scratch Pad from the start menu. Checking this option will create an icon for Scratch Pad on the menu that is first displayed when you press the Start button, above the Programs > item. This is in addition to the Scratch Pad icon always created in the Programs menu. 4) The fourth option is to make Scratch Pad the default viewer for .txt files. If you check this option, the Setup program will associate that file extension with the Scratch Pad program. This means that whenever you double click on a program with a .txt extension, that file will be opened in Scratch Pad for you to view or modify.
