    View source in IE

    I know this forum is changing into IE forum, but something is buggin me

    I go to IE->Tools->Options->programs and set UltraEdit as my default editor, but when i go view source it uses notepad.

    Add the EDIT button to your toolbar. Then you can click on that and choose your editor. As for making Ultra Edit the source viewer, I don't know how.

      Well, it's not really a "problem" ... choosing UltraEdit as your Editor means when you edit HTML pages offline, it'll launch UltraEdit ... viewing source from a webpage is not the same as editing it (when was the last time you were able to edit a webpage from a view source? hehehe )

      You actually need to dive into the registry to change the HTML source viewer for IE...

      For IE6 on WinXP, run REGEDIT, follow the following directions to the proper key.

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
      |- Software
      |-- Microsoft
      |--- Internet Explorer
      |---- View Source Editor
      |----- Editor Name (Default) = C:\windows\notepad.exe

      If this doesnt exist (but it should) then create the Key "View Source Editor"
      Then create a Key within that named "Editor Name". Modify the
      "(Default)" value to make it point towards any program on your
      computer using "C:\Path\To\Your\HTML Viewer.exe" (without the brackets).
