When the Windows Desktop Update is installed on your computer, you can
customize a folder by creating an HTML page to change the appearance of
that folder. When you customize the appearance of a folder, Notepad is the
default editor, even when FrontPage Express is installed on your computer.
To cause FrontPage Express to be the default editor, follow these steps:
| 1. | Double-click My Computer, and then click Folder Options on the View
menu.
|
| 2. | On the File Types tab, click HyperText Template in the Registered File
Types box.
|
| 3. | Click Edit, click New, and then type "edit" (without quotation marks)
in the Action box.
|
| 4. | Click Browse to locate the Fpxpress.exe file, and then click Open.
NOTE: If you installed FrontPage Express in its default location, the
Fpxpress.exe file is located in the following folder:
Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage Express\Bin |
| 5. | Click OK, click Close, and then click Close.
