- "TP Link" (txplink) - This little program (2KB) can be renamed to
NOTEPAD.EXE. It just runs TEXTPAD.EXE instead of running Notepad. You
never have to see Notepad ever again.
- CHANGE YOUR DEFAULT
HTML EDITOR - If you work with HTML pages, you probably have a favorite
HTML editor. Even code dinosaurs like me, who prefer to use text
editors, have begun to switch to editors that handle syntax
checking and can catch simple errors in code. When you click
View, Source in the browser, it opens Notepad Changing theÂ
browser to open the editor of your choice is simple.
- Launch regedit, then edit the following
registry subkeys. In theÂ
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Default
HTMLÂ Editor subkey, change the REG_SZ "Description" data to the
name of your editor. In the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Default
HTML Editor\shell\edit\command subkey, change the default REG_SZ
data to the fully qualified pathname for your editor (e.g.,
c:\program files\html editor\editor.exe).
