I saved an TB... Profile Inbox on my external drive. I need to find and read a message hopefully stored in that Inbox. The file size in 17mb. Tried Notebook and Wordpad without success. Notebook message says file is too large. Wordpad simply boots me out.

I am a newby to dealing with this type of search. Will need much guidance.

Hi febert,

You will have to use a third-party Notepad replacement app such as Notepad3 from Rizonesoft that is capable of opening such a large file. Just search "Rizonesoft Notepad3" in any search engine. It is a free portable app, so just unzip it to a folder of your choice and launch it by "double-clicking" on the .exe file. It has both 32-bit & 64-bit versions in the zip file.

Hope this helps, CybTekSol
