Want to get rid of Word as default .htm(l) editor

Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 by Nicki

Seems like MS thought Word was a good html editor. NOT!


I finally had enough of right-click Edit on html file, and then Word pops up. Good grief, what were they thinking? Here's how to get rid of that.

Open a new explorer, click on Tools / Folder Options / File Types. Scroll to HTM, select it, click Advanced, make sure Edit is selected, and click Edit. To make Visual Studio 2008 the editor, paste this in the 2nd entry field (Application used to perform action)

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" "%1"

Click all the right buttons to confirm and get out, and test it.
