[thelist] Killing Note Pad!

Sorry if this is late - I've been away and my evolt mail currently seems to
have a 10 hour delay!

miinx has given the answer:

However, if you tweak the 'Edit with' button to your liking you'll find the
View Source becomes redundant, except for those occasions when all you want
to do is *view* that source, in which case Notepad is as good as anything.

For those wishing to alter/add to their 'Edit with' button, look up the
thread(s) in the archives from October with the subject(s) "I E s Edit With
button..." or my tip in the archive from 31 Oct 2000.  (Odd that the thread
was so short at the time, given the responses to this one...;)

Or try this URL (mind the wrap!):

's%20Edit%20button%20(Web%20Design,%20Internet%20Explorer)

What I can't do with the 'Edit With' button... and here's the challenge...
is get Dreamweaver's logo (or any other app of my choice) to appear in the
toolbar.  Making it the default editor is simple enough (see tip), but only
Word seems able to replace the boring default 'Edit with' logo with its own.
I think it's a system/DDE type thing.  Anyone any ideas?
