Hi

To change the default editor in IE7 under XP, you have to do the following changes in the Registry:
1) Under the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer" create a Key "View Source Editor"
2) Under this key, create a key "Editor Name"
3) Set the (Default) value = “C:\Program Files\TextPad 5\TextPad.exe�
This tips doesn't seem to work with Vista: TextPad opens but with no file.

Does anyone know how I can set TextPad as my defaut editor with IE ?

Thank in advance
Philippe
