Add more programs to the Edit button
In Internet Explorer 5, there is a handy Edit button on the toolbar which you can either press to edit the current web page in IE5's default HTML editor, or you can select an alternative editor from a list by pressing the arrow to the right of the button.
To add another HTML editor to the selection, start Regedit (Start, Run..., regedit) and browse to the following key (remember to backup your registry first):
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList
Goto the Edit menu and choose New... then Key. Give it a meaningful name, such as "My Favorite HTML Editor", then open your new key.
You now need to repeat the above process for creating a new key 3 times. Inside your newly created key, create one called "shell". Inside that, create one called "edit", inside of which you should finally create one callled "command".
Inside the command key there will be a "Default" value. Double-click it. Here you need to paste in the full path to the HTML Editor program you're trying to add, such as "e:\Microsoft FrontPage 98\bin\fpeditor.exe"%1. Make sure you've surrounded it with double-quotes and added a %1 at the end, press OK and quit Regedit.
