Source Viewer With IE

If you are a developer then this is the coolest ie hack. When you view source in Internet Explorer, Notepad is launched as the text editor. In most cases NOTEPAD Sucks. You may open it withIf you want to change this, here?s how.

Navigate to:

HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\ViewSourceEditor \Editor Name

Modify the key ?Editor Name? (create if it does not exist). Set the (Default) value to equal the full path and filename of the required text editor, for example, ?C:\Program Files\MyEditor?. Wordapad is a better editor.
