and Notepad. While this is somewhat useful, I really wanted to use a different editor. If you look under Tools|Internet Options|Programs, you will find these two programs without any apparent way to add anything else.
If you fire up regedit and go to:
HKey_Classes_Root/.htm/OpenWithList/
you will see two keys, one for notepad and one for word. To add another program for editing:
- Right click OpenWithList and add a New Key. Give it the name you want to show up in your "Edit With" list.
- Right click the newly created key and add a new key named shell.
- Right click shell and add a new key named edit.
- Right click edit and add a new key named command.
- Open the Default String for command and edit it's value. You will want to put in quotes the path to the executable you desire to edit with followed by %1. That should do it. I used "c:\program files\allaire\homesite.exe" %1 YMMV.
I've only done this with HomeSite, but I would guess you should be able to do it with just about any windows program. I had to fiddle around with the String Value to get it just right. I also tried to add a Perl Script into the Edit With, but always got back an error stating that "c:/the/path/to/my/cached/file.htm" wasn't a valid NT application :( Wouldn't that be a cool thing, though?
