Editor problems

[Paul Boswell]

I am using Edit Pad light as an editor. I have set the file types in
preferences to use it to edit HTML files. When I right click/edit an HTML
file, I get the message:
**The file /content/editor.xul cannot be found**

Can anyone suggest a fix?

TIA

Hi Paul,

What's the command-line you used for the "Edit" verb? Open Regedit and
navigate to:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell]

Export the key and post the contents here.

Hi Paul,

In EditPad Lite, under "Options/Preferences/File Types" select
"HTML Document" and click "Always "Edit"this file type with EditPad",
then click "Apply" and "OK". Then, in Internet Explorer, under
"Tools/Internet Options/Programs", under "HTML editor", select
"EditPad Lite", then "Apply" and "OK".

Added tip:

Change and/or Add an HTML Editor (Line 132)

In EditPad Lite, under "Options/Preferences/File Types" select "HTML
Document", then click on Associations tab, and click "Always "Edit"this file
type with EditPad", then click "Apply" and "OK".

Hi Paul,

It points to Office Frontpage, and not Edit Pad.

Thank you. Recognizing at least the sensitivity with which the registry
should be edited, I would appreciate it if you could direct me past anything
which requires more than my path to EditPad. The \%1 parameter for instance.
Is that required in the path?

The "%1" is required.

Examples:
"c:\windows\notepad.exe" "%1"
"c:\program files\editpad\editpad.exe" "%1"
