Internet Options>Programs>Html editor ??
Click to expand...

I have tried the Internet Options ... and the HMTL editor says Notepad, I
cannot type over it or delete it, is there a way i can add MSWorks to the
HMTL editor
 
I guess if it was compatible it would show up in drop down box.
I have word excel, and notepad. You don't have MS office?

There are internet explorer news groups, also.
 
Adding HTML Editors
The steps for adding HTML editors to the drop-down list on the Programs tab of the Internet Options dialog box in Internet Explorer 5 and later are slightly different than the steps for adding client applications like mail and news.

1.. Register the friendly name of the HTML editor by adding a new key to HKEY_CLASSSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList\friendly name2.. Add shell, edit, and command keys to the editor's registry entry.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList\friendly name\shell\edit\command3.. Enter the fully formed path of the .exe file that launches the editor in the command key's "Value data" field. Enclose the path in quotes if it contains spaces. The following example shows the Value data entry for a typical installation of FrontPage Express. Include %1 as a parameter. This parameter refers to the file name of the active Web page.
"c:\program files\microsoft front page express\bin\fpxpress.exe %1"
 
As David said. This has been scripted here.

Note that the script does not accept command-line parameters.
