Some tips: (1) Put a shortcut to your favorite text editor in the "SendTo" folder. Now you can right-click any file and open it in said editor. (2) Add a wildcard registry entry for your favorite text editor. Same basic result as above. Here's mine: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\opennpp] @="Open in Notepad&++" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\opennpp\command] @="\\\\FooCorp\\FooDFS\\NetApps\\NotepadPP\\Notepad++.EXE \"%1\"" So I can right-click anything, hit the [+] key, and it will open in Notepad++. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
