Or if you wanted to do it the long way you could go like this, and save it into the desktop (at which you could do anyways with Voltes code ) bbbuuuttt just in case you need something elses text saved:


[VB]
Dim strSPath As String = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory) & "/TheName.html"
Dim HTMLFILE As System.IO.StreamWriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter(strSPath)
HTMLFILE.Write(TextBox1.Text)
HTMLFILE.Flush() Its always good to flush and close a stream
HTMLFILE.Close()
[/VB]

no need to use the streamwriter with the richtextbox really though , as voltface was saying use .SaveFile , adding to that you can specify the format of the text to save , eg:

RichTextBox1.SaveFile("D:\somepath.txt", RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
