Looks like the file association for txt is corrupted.
Hopefully an XP user will paste the steps necessary to reset it (I can't recall the menu sequence and am on NT right now) I think it's somewhere in the windowsexplorer options menu.
Till then try opening notepad first then either do file open and browse to the file, or drag the file into notepad.
Also a useful tip would be to put a shortcut to notepad in your "send-to" folder. That way you can right click on a file and select send-to
BTW
Why scrub out the user name when it's plainly visible in the window title ?
EDIT
Having just read the rest of the comments in the thread.
If notepad wont open try wordpad
I'd also suggest a thorough virus check in case a nasty is corrupting exe's.
