Default Editor in IE

Has anyone figured out how to set TextPad as the default text editor within IE 5.0 or above. I understand there is a registry entry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name) but this still does not work properly. TextPad tries to create a new files due to the spaces in the path. Also, adding parameters to the default value also doesn't seem to work properly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Shane.

Although View>Source doesn't work with TextPad in IE5+, you will find that (if in internet options > programs, your "HTML Editor" is set to TextPad), by Alt+F,D (File>Edit) becomes File>Edit with Textpad and functions well.
And it does work without any problem for files with spaces.

Hope this will help.
