Internet Explorer Tweak – View Source Editor

November 4th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in webdev

A simple tip to enhance your web dev productivity (in case you’re testing some scripts’ output in Internet Explorer…): how to setup a different html viewer/editor (rather than the lousy Notepad), associated with IE’s View Source option?

  1. Start -> Run -> regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer
  3. Create key: View Source Editor (under Internet Explorer)
  4. Create subkey: Editor Name
  5. Change the data value for the default string to the path of the new editor. Example, for Notepad++.exe: c:\Program Files\Notepad2\notepad++.exe
  6. Reset IE

Since this method changes the registry, I don’t take any responsability in these steps… backup the registry before touching it.
