Solution 1

You can SendMessage the WM_COMMAND message with 'File' menu item ID or else send the 'Alt' + 'F' key sequence to the Notepad Window.

~~I think you should have tried GOOGLE before posting the question.~~ :)

Solution 2

In Windows 7, you can use the Automation API[^]

In Windows XP, you can use FindWindow[^] to get a handle to the Notepad window, then (as the other solution suggests), SendMessage( notepad_hwnd, ... );
