Internet Explorer View Source

Is there any way to change which application starts when you view the source of a page you're viewing in IE6? I want UltraEdit to start instead of Notepad.

Go to Tools/Internet Options/Programs tab if UltraEdit is listed there great. If not you'll have to change a key in the registry. HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Default HTML Editor/shell/edit/command, change the default value to the executable for UltraEdit (giving the full path) with %1 at the end. For instance, EditPlus is my current default HTML Editor and the default value is
C:\PROGRA~1\EDITPL~1\EDITPLUS.EXE "%1". HTH, James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.

There is a replacement 'notepad.exe' that just starts UltraEdit. You can get it from UltraEdits website. Or I can just give you a copy after lunch ;) Bruce Duncan CP#9088, CPUA 0xA1EE, Sonork 100.10030

Oops, I told you what you had to change for the Edit functionality to work. There should be an icon just to the right of the print button on the toolbar for editing. I don't recall seeing where you could change the "view source" editor.

There is a way to do this, but it is not a setting anywhere. You have to create a registry key, at least I have never seen a system that already had it. Add this key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor Then add this key to the one you just added above: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name Then double click on the "Default" string that was created automatically in the "Editor Name" key and set the value to the full path to the executable you want to use. e.g. "C:\Program Files\IDM\ultraedit.exe" or whatever it is. Now when you right click on a page and choose "View Source" it will pipe it to the application you chose.
