I love my embird programme - I just hope they sort out this problem in the next update.
Yes it's a damnable nuisance.
Firstly you need to open the settings for Iconiser and disable it from control over Text files.
Then, when you wish to view a txt file from within Embird you will need to right click on it and scroll down until you see the choice: "Open file in external application".
Select that and then choose Windows, Notepad.
If you click on the photo's below, you will be able to zoom in and see them better if you need to.
Hope this helps, Hugs n gumnuts, Meganne
