Re: Edit with Notepad 3

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As Brian stated.....the Edit With Notepad icon in Internet Explorer is
Only for editing web pages. To use Notepad for other text tasks, you
must go to Start>Programs>Accessories>Notepad to open it...... or right
click on it there & choose the option to place a Shortcut on the
Desktop. Then, drag that shortcut to the Quicklaunch bar or wherever is
convenient for you to find it quickly.
