External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:
- "(Default)" definitely not required. Added by the RUSTY WORM! Note - not to be confused with the valid Windows "NOTEPAD" text editor
- "Notepad lptt01" definitely not required. Variant of the RapidBlaster parasite (in a "nvd32" folder in Program Files). It is not recommended you manually uninstall RapidBlaster but use RapidBlaster Killer - see here. Note - this is not Windows Notepad which has the same executable name
