Using Textpad as View Source editor

Post by Ralph Busch »

When you do a right-click on a web page, and select View Source, you can see the HTML source of a webpage in notepad. How can you change the behaviour such that Textpad is used instead?

Thanks,
Ralph.

I tried extracting txplink to my WINNT folder. doulbe-clicked the install.bat and even made the registry change. It still doesn't work. If I try to change the name of txplink to notepad.exe as suggested, Win2K won't let me since a file by that name exists.If I rename notepad.exe windows automatically restores it.

Any suggestions?
