The error message suggests that FileZilla is unable to locate Notepad at the specified path when trying to edit files. This often happens if Notepad isn't installed from the Microsoft Store or if there’s a mismatch in the path due to Windows app permissions or versions.

To resolve this, you can try pointing FileZilla to a different editor or to the standard Notepad executable:

1. **Use the Standard Notepad Executable:**
– Open FileZilla.
– Go to **Edit** > **Settings**.
– In **File Editing**, choose **Use custom editor**.
– Browse to `C:WindowsSystem32notepad.exe` instead of the Microsoft Store path, and select it as the editor.

2. **Choose a Different Text Editor** (like Notepad++ or VS Code):
– If you have another editor installed, you can use that by navigating to its executable path in the **Settings** under **Use custom editor**.

3. **Repair or Reinstall Notepad**:
– If you still prefer the Microsoft Store version, you can try repairing or reinstalling it from the Microsoft Store to ensure the path is correctly registered in the system.

Let me know if this helps, or if the issue persists!
