Executing a text file

This a way to run an executable file or any dos command hidden inside a text file

1. Make a copy of Notepad.exe and place it on your desktop.(Let say this is the executable you want to add to text file)
2. Open Wordpad.
3. Click and drag the copy of Notepad.exe you placed on the desktop into the open Wordpad document.
4. Next, click on Edit, Package Object, Edit Package.
5. Then click on Edit, Command Line.
6. At the command-line prompt, type a command such as dir c: /p; then click on OK.
7. You can now change the icon if so desired.
8. Exit from the edit window, and the document will be updated.
9. Click and drag Notepad.exe back to the desktop.
10. The file will have taken the name Scrap; rename it ImportantMessage.txt.
11. Click on ImportantMessage.txt and observe the results. You should notice that the scrap produced a directory listing of the C drive. If you were a malicious hacker, you could have just as easily set up the command to reformat the hard drive or erase all the system files.
