I am logging data into a *.txt file while running a LabVIEW VI. When the user presses the "Exit" button, I would like a dialogue window to pop up and ask the user if he/she wants to open the *.txt data file using MS Notepad. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it. I read an old (2005) thread that refers to "systemexec.vi" as a way to do this, but I cannot find that VI in my examples.
I am using LabVIEW 2009.
Thanks very much.

Thanks. I cannot get that VI through my company firewall because it says that it contains a virus. I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Could someone zip it for me?

It doesn't contain a virus. Your company's anti-virus needs to have its signatures corrected.

My company needs many things, so thank you for the help with the work-around. It worked perfectly.
I found "systemexec.vi" by backtracing it up the folder chain.
Thanks very much.
