IE 6 Default HTML editor

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 01.2006

Hi all,
is it possible to change the text editor that fires up when viewing source? I’ve tried setting Internet Options – Programs – HTML editor to vim but it just ignores it. Ive also tried setting the default HTML editor in the registry with similar lack of response.

thanks

Guy

Brilliant!

Next question, can I get Firefox to do the same?

many thanks
