I am using Visual C++ 2003 toolkit trying to run my first Hello Program in C++. When I type: notepad Hello.cpp I will get the following: 'notepad' is not reconized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I do have notepad installed on my computer. What should I do?

Computers are worlds of Exploration?

type in 'c:\windows\notepad.exe' instead..
thats default install though...
don't type in 'notepad Hello.cpp' either..
Just 'notepad' Will work, you can decide filename when you save :)

I'd recommend that you grabbed a better editor too. Something like ConTEXT is free, has synax highlighting and will save you a lot of hassle when it comes to debugging line numbers.
