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?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start -> Run -> regedit<\/li>\n
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Create key:\u00a0View Source Editor (under Internet Explorer)<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Create subkey: Editor Name<\/li>\n
  5. Change the data value for the default string to the path of the new editor. Example, for Notepad++.exe:\u00a0c:\\Program Files\\Notepad2\\notepad++.exe<\/li>\n
  6. Reset IE<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
