Changing the 'View Source' application in Internet Explorer

If you are using Internet Explorer, and you choose View > Source, the program that automatically launches and shows the source code of the webpage you're viewing is Notepad. What if you want another program to view the source code of the page instead of Notepad? This simple registry edit should allow you to do that. It works on Internet Explorer 6, tested on Windows XP but should work on Win98 and beyond.
(Backup your registry first just in case!)
Run REGEDIT, follow the following directions to the proper key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
|- Software
|-- Microsoft
|--- Internet Explorer
|---- View Source Editor
|----- Editor Name (Default) = C:\windows\notepad.exe
If this doesnt exist (but it should) then create the Key "View Source Editor"
Then create a Key within that named "Editor Name". Modify the
"(Default)" value to make it point towards any program on your
computer using "C:\Path\To\Your\HTML Viewer.exe" (without the brackets).
