===================== 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. Source: .net magazine April 2000, p.141
