Tom, Thanks for your response.
I am already using the Notepad to view & edit Makefiles.
But I realy need the ability to edit the files inside the IDE since they are a part of the project (*.dsp), and I really feel comfortable with the MSVC editor abilities.
The only way (till now) to achieve it is:
In the IDE window -> File Menu -> Open -> Select the *.mak file -> Select "Open as: Text".
This way is too long for frequent usage. I want to "teach" the IDE that *.mak file should ALWAY be opened as text, not as an MSVC project environment file.
Does anybody has the solution?

If you build with this makefile, making "Project" with that makefile:

  Add new project | C++ | makefile project... chose Win32... etc.
  (you need to chose a modified name for that .dsw from .mak.)

then the .mak becomes a part of that project, and with double click,
it opens always in text mode.
