You can use an ES to look for the List Box double-click event & use the Open/Create/Replace File function to open the double-clicked item (text file) of the list box.

If you want the file to be opened in Notepad, you need to use the System Exec VI found in the Connectivity pallette & use the command line for launching Notepad application, which in turn will open the text file.

Don't shout at someone when you get an answer. Especially when your question is the problem in the first place. If you wanted to open the file with Notepad, why couldn't you simply have said that in the first place?
