You can rename any file to.txt, it could be a video, which i dont think you can open with notepad

 

edit: aha, read the name and it seems to point towards it being a legit txt after all

Try openeing it using notepad++

WHat they are saying is that you probably downloaded this from the internet and the person who made the file probably changed the extension to .txt (so it may have been a .zip or whatever)

 

What text editors have you tried?
