That's why I was wondering. Because I did "open with" to use EditPadLite and it's still the lined paper. I think in some Windows flavors it did as you say. But now I'm confused if it's still supposed to change with the app or if there's a "standard" text document type or what the deal is.
well spotted brink, i just enlarged the txt file in the screenshot and it is lined with the perforated top of page,
it looks blank in a smaller image. and of course was described as blank.
as a test the op could right click and select open with / select default program and choose word pad then it will be an obvious change, then op can change back.
well that's it. I had to try really hard to make it bigger buy eventually saw the lines very faintly. Why didn't MS keep it the way it was is so stupid.This is not a shortcut to Notepad, but a .txt file that opens with Notepad instead. :)
The icon that I see in this screenshot is the normal icon as below for a text (.txt) file. That's the one that's suppose to be for it.
Am I missing something?

Thanks everyone really appreciate the help.

Celeste,
If you like, you could use OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to easily change the default icon of .txt files to be any icon that you like instead. For the Notepad icon you would use C:\Windows\notepad.exe,0.
