I am looking for a way to have IE9 open source code in a custom application that I choose by default such as Notepad, Notepad2, or even Word if I want.  Note:  This is for View Source, not changing what application I use to edit an HTML file.  Edit:  I do not believe this qualifies as a complete duplicate.  The other question specifically asks about IE8.  I removed all IE version tags except IE9 and also addressed Windows 7.  Since that other question is nearly four years old, it is possible that the asker was dealing with XP or Vista although it wasn't mentioned.  Additionally, I could not find that registry key even through a search.

How can I set Internet Explorer 8 the old style "view source" to open with Notepad?  (I set HTML editing to Notepad, but I want the Right-Click - View source to open in notepad)

How can i prevent Windows explorer from opening my internet browser when I mistype something in the address bar?  For example, I often type Alt+d, cmd to quickly select the address bar and open cmd.exe in the current directory.  However, I often mistype, and hit cdm instead of cmd.  This will open my default browser and search for cdm, and I deeply hate this.  Sure, it only takes a couple seconds to go back, but that doesn't keep me from hating it.  I'm not interested in making links of my commonly mis-typed programs (which I have actually done already), e.g. create a link of cdm.exe that points to cmd.exe.  I just want to turn this feature off, if possible.

//As a comment, I want to say that I can actually open the context, but it does not work .  I right click on a file and hover the mouse on Open With option, then in the Open With context Menu, I want to choose default program for that file, it shows me an error saying:  This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action, please install a program or if, one is already installed create an association in the Default programs control panel.  But I don't want to create an association in control panel every time i want to change the default program, I just want to do it by right-clicking on a file and fr

I might just be lazy, but do you ever find it tiresome to select all the source code from a large post on Stack&nbsp;Overflow to copy it?  I would like a feature, possibly a Firefox extension, but preferably a JavaScript script, for automatically copying source examples to the clipboard. It's no big deal for a small snippet, but a 1000+ line posting is cumbersome to copy.  Do you guys have a better way of copying large source posts? I'm using Firefox 3.5.5 on Windows&nbsp;7.

I don't think I've seen any answers to this question, but I'm curious as to why, when you have a 64-bit OS installed (ex: Vista x64), IE defaults to the 32-bit version? Are there drawbacks to using the x64 version of IE (IE8, specifically)?

When IE10 is set as my default browser, double-clicking an internet shortcut (*.url file) opens it in a new tab of the existing IE window. However, when it is not the default, every way of opening a *.url that I've tried brings up a new IE window per file. Is it possible to keep opening files in new tabs of the same IE window when it's not set as the default browser, and how?  What I've tried and it didn't work:   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "C:\Dir1\file.url" (opens a new window every time) C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Windows\System32\ieframe.dll",OpenURL C:\Dir1\file.url (opens the default browser) classexec "C:\Dir1\file.url" --class htmlFile (using  utility, opens a new window every time)   I use Windows 7 x64.

I would like .txt files to open with Notepad++ by default in Windows 10. I have found the options to change file associations but there is no option to specify custom programs. Here's a screen shot:    How can I make Notepad++ default program for .txt files?

OK, I really really want to replace the default notepad.exe in Windows 7 with Editpad (yes, I want to replace the actual executable, and no I don't want to use something like Notepad2, so please don't suggest that).  I used the following batch script which has worked for me before:  @echo off TITLE EditPad Install Script for Complete Windows Vista and 7 Notepad Replacement echo. echo EditPad Install Script for Complete Windows Vista and 7 Notepad Replacement echo Version 2.0 echo. echo Confirm to apply? (Press Ctrl-C and answer Y to terminate) pause echo. echo.  if exist %SystemRoot%\notepad.original.exe goto exist_editpad_already if exist %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.original.exe goto exist_editpad_already takeown /f %SystemRoot%\notepad.exe takeown /f %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.exe icacls %SystemRoot%\notepad.exe /grant "%USERNAME%":f icacls %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.exe /grant "%USERNAME%":f IF EXIST %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64 (bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions "DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS") copy %SystemRoot%\notepad.exe %SystemRoot%\notepad.original.exe copy %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.exe %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.original.exe echo. echo Original notepad.exe has been renamed to "notepad.original.exe" in its original folder. echo. echo Overwriting %SystemRoot%\notepad.exe with "%~dp0\EditPad.exe" copy "%~dp0\EditPad.exe" %SystemRoot%\notepad.exe /y echo Overwriting %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.exe with "%~dp0\EditPad.exe" copy "%~dp0\EditPad.exe" %SystemRoot%\System32\notepad.exe /y echo. echo EditPad installation is completed. echo If no error occurred, EditPad will now replace all Notepad functions. echo. pause goto eof  :exist_editpad_already echo. echo INSTALLED EditPad ALREADY! (notepad.original.exe exists in windows or windows system32) echo. pause goto eof  :eof   This script did replace notepad.exe with the Editpad executable, but now if I try and open a text file, I get the error "Your copy of NOTEPAD.EXE appears to have been damaged. Please try reinstalling it from the original setup package."  I am using Windows 7 64 bit.  What could I do to force Windows to let me use Editpad as my notepad.exe without giving me this stupid error message?  UPDATE: I think I have some more information that may help things a bit.  The problem seems to be with me running editpad.exe at all inside the system32 directory.  If I substitute various other exe files for system32\notepad.exe they run fine, but when I try to run editpad.exe inside that directory, Windows 7 gives me a popup dialog: "The publisher could not be verified.  Are you sure you want to run this software?"  If I click Run, I get the 'file is damaged' error - but ONLY if I'm running it inside the system32 directory.  I need to find a way to get this exe running inside the system32 directory.

I want to highlight C/C++/Java/C# etc source codes in my website.  How can I do this?  Is it a CPU intensive job to highlight the source code?

I just finished slicing and coding a very nice table-less css template for my website, all the time I was testing with IE7 and Chrome.  Then I just had the brilliant idea of testing this template with IE6, I installed Windows XP on a Virtual PC and then I opened my website on IE6.  It looks extremely bad!  The format of my page looked like garbage, nothing displaying correctly like in IE7 and Chrome. I knew that some things were not supported by IE6, but I didn't think that my page would render like it did.  So I would like to know if there is a place where I can see what is not supported by IE6 so I can fix my CSS or even create a new one only for IE6.  Any info will be very helpful!  Thanks!

I'm making an automated installer for Windows XP, and I want the default view to be the "details" view on all folders - that is, the effect gotten by setting one folder to the details view, then going to Tools -> Folder Options -> View -> "Apply to All Folders". I also want the status bar to be showing, same as going View -> Show Status Bar.  What registry entries should I modify, and to what, to have this be the case?

I've built a Javascript web application which is served from Sharepoint (ie. there is no Sharepoint code at all operating on the web app, it's just some HTML/JS being served from a Sharepoint 2010 Document Library)  I'm displaying HTML5 video and sourcing a file from within the same Document Library, this works absolutely fine on Google Chrome, but if I try with Firefox (or with IE9) then every file I source gets denied twice with an HTTP 401 error before it gets returned with HTTP 200.  The upshot of this is that if I have a very simple HTML file (see below) and run it locally then the video plays fine in all browsers, if I upload the HTML and the video to my company's sharepoint server (into a document library) then it won't load in IE or Firefox - but works fine in Chrome!  &lt;html&gt; &lt;body&gt;     &lt;video&gt;         &lt;source src="localvideo.webm" type="video/webm"&gt;     &lt;/video&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   If I change the source element to reference a video file on a different server then it, again, works fine so this must be a problem with the way Sharepoint is serving files. Does anyone have any advice on how to work around this problem? Either in Sharepoint or in JS? There is no chance of me being able to edit anything above a site owner's privileges.

As the title describes, what are the different doctypes available and what do they mean? I notice that the layout looks a little different in IE7 when I switch from   &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" &gt;   to  &lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;   Are there any others and what are the effects or ramifications?  Thanks!

I have no problem creating the forms. Some users still have Internet Explorer 8.0 as their browser default. When I send the form link, they cannot open the form? I use Chrome 40 to design the form and have no issues.   What would be the minimum IE version, or any other browser for that matter,  for users to view and complete the form? I'm sure they are able to easily update their browser version.

I have an Internet Explorer only web application.  I'm exploring what we can do to automate the testing.   Selenium looks like a good tool, but to be able to activate links etc. I need to tell it where they are. The application wasn't built with this kind of testing in mind, so there generally aren't id attributes on the key elements.  No problem, I think, I can use XPath expressions. But finding the correct XPath for, say, a button, is a royal pain if done by inspecting the source of the page.  With Firefox / Firebug, I can select the element then use "Copy XPath" to get the expression.  I have the IE Developer Toolbar and it's frustratingly close. I can click to select the element of interest and display all sorts of information about it. but I can't see any convenient way of determining the XPath for it.  So is there any way of doing this with IE?

I'm looking for a plugin or way to simply go from any namespace, type, method, property, etc in my .Net code to the MSDN page that covers it via a context menu item or hyperlink-like mechanism.  Does anyone know of anything that will do that?    The "Go to Definition" option when you right click almost covers this, but it doesn't quite work well enough - no support for namespaces and you often end up at an ugly metadata page.  I'm still on vs2005, so if vs2008 is better at this I'd like to know about it.
