 When I try to run setup of my games, my notebook opens the setup program in
the notepad instead of running it as an application. How do I change this?

TIA

Make sure that the setup file is really an executable file. You may have to
turn on your file extension display in folder options.


Folder Options, View tab, uncheck Hide extensions of known files types.
