I have sent a patch to fix notepad's behaviour with regards to appending .txt 
to filenames.  But I was not able to reproduce the issue you described; 
notepad opens the files just fine, without any errors.  The issue seems to be 
that notepad is given the filename C:\4NEC2\MODELS\EXAMPLE1.NE, while it 
should be C:\4NEC2\MODELS\EXAMPLE1.NEC

I used Wine 1.1.3 and 4NEC2 5.7.3.  Could you upgrade to Wine 1.1.3 or newer 
and see if the problem persists?
