Editing the right click context menu.

[Mike Barnard]

Hi.

I am learning a little about web design. I am hand coding some pages
but getting '.html' files to choose between the browser and editor is
a pain.

I want to right click on a .html file, see 'edit' as an option and it
to call NoteTabPro, the editor I am using.

I've been in to the folder options, looked at file types, selected
'html' (and 'htm'), and gone into advanced. IN advanced I can see an
option for 'edit'. I used browse to point it at the .exe of
NoteTabPro... but it still doesn't show when right clicking.

Ok, still in advnaced I created a new item, called it "Edit an html
file", selected the editor and again, it still doesn't show.

OK, whats up? What have I got to do please? This is XP pro, fully
patched, SP2. I am admin.

Thanks.

Hi,
Try the "Add New Internet Explorer 5+ Editor" script at
http://billsway.com/vbspage/

Alternately, you could place a shortcut to Note TabPro in the Send To folder
at C:\Documents and settings\username\SendTo.

Hope this helps,
Don
