IE6 - latest updated version:
The only choice listed in Internet Options / Programs is Microsoft Front
Page. I want to add other choices, such as Notepad. How do I do this? Thanks.
 
Hi RK,

To add Notepad.exe entry to the the Editor list, try this:

Open Regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList

Create a sub-key named Notepad.exe

Next, navigate to: (If "edit" key is unavailable, create new sub-key
accordingly)

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\NOTEPAD.EXE\shell\edit\command

In the right-pane, double-click (default) and type-in the full path to
Notepad.exe

Example: C:\windows\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1
 
Thank you for the way to force this using regedit. Isn't there any other way
to accomplish this that does not require modifying regedit directly?
Thanks.
 
There is no option in the UI, to add the HTML editor. Perhaps a third-party
application / script can do it. Email me and I can send you a REG file to
accomplish this.
