=====================
Add HTML Editor to IE
=====================
Summary:
The Edit button is handy but
what if you have graduated from
using Notepad? A little registry
editing is called for...
1. Click START -> Run (or Windows
Key + R) and type "regedit"
2. In the Registry Editor navigate
down to the
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList key
then right-click in the right-
hand pane and select New -> Key.
3. Rename the key to whatever your
HTML editor is called.
4. Open it and create a sub-keys
shell\edit\command. It should
have the same structure as the
Windows Notepad key when you're
done.
5. Now double-click on the
'(default)' value in command
and paste in the full path to
the HTML editor - it should
be surrounded with double-quotes.
After the last quote, type a
space followed by '%1'. e.g.
"C:\Program Files\Evrsoft\1stPage.exe" %1
6. Click OK and quit the Registry
Editor.
7. Open Internet Explorer and go
to Tools -> Internet Options
and click on the Programs tab.
8. Your entry should now be listed
in the HTML editor drop-down.
Select it to make it the default,
click OK, then open a page
you've been working on and give
it a try.
Note: the edit function may not
work for on-line pages, since
the editor may not be able to
open them from cache.
