Use default HTML Editor in Internet Explorer.

This tweak can show the default HTML Editor icon on Internet Explorer toolbar, even when the HTML file is created using various Microsoft Office applications.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

Internet Explorer normally attempts to detect the program in originally created HTML document and modify the edit option to use the same program for future editing. Say, if a HTML file is created using Microsoft Excel, and when accessing the file in Internet Explorer, the “Edit with Microsoft Excel” option in the toolbar will open the file in Microsoft Excel. But, if you prefer to use the default HTML Editor, like Microsoft FrontPage, when editing the file, change the given setting in the registry.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a String value “CheckDocumentForProgID” in the right panel, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify its value to “no” which can use default HTML Editor in Internet Explorer. However, if you want HTML files to open in program originally created, change the value data to “yes” or delete the added value.

The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
