Thanks

In IE goto Tools > Internet Options > Programs and drop down the HTML Editor list, if your program is on there, choose it. If it's not then check out

To add your preference to the View>Source option in Internet Explorer, go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
Right-click on the Internet Expolorer key, choose new>Key, name it View Source Editor, right-click on View Source Editor key, choose new>Key name it Editor Name, right-click on (Default) in the right pane and type the name of your editor (for example I use Textpad.)

As long as the application has an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths, you need only provide the name.

If it doesn't have any entry you'll need to enter the full pathname (for example,) "C:\Program Files\TextPad 4\TextPad.exe"

I found reghakr's method worked. However, I originally
wanted to modify the tool bar button which defaults to
Microsoft Word. It also has a pull dow menu with Notepad.
I can't finad any way to modify this button to add another
application.
