[kurt476]

dose any budy know of a tweak that instead of right clickong the like a .reg file and clicking edit i would like too press like F3 and it come's up with notepad and editng the .reg or .sif files so is there a tweak for this?

Have you considered creating a shortcut to Notepad.exe in your SendTo folder? Then to edit a file all you would need to do is to right click, choose Send To --> Notepad.

Otherwise you might look into keyboard macros.

Hope this helps.

i'll look into keyboard macros becuase i just want too press a button my my keyborad too go directly too notepad. thanx

oh and i can i save the setting on keyboard macros for my unattended cd?

You want to highlight a reg file and press a button to open it in notepad?

Thats 2 actions, when clicking a reg file and going to edit-with : notepad is 2 as well. I dont see it as a big deal. You could always make reg files always open with notepad. Though how safe that is I dont know.

Just a FYI, DO NOT put shortcuts to notepad on the desktop. I dont know if it was fixed in SP2 but putting notepad shortcuts on your pc stops the use of View Source in IE.

Good luck

wy nt use a regtwik dat changes d defolt aktion wen u dobol-klik a regfyl? change d defolt aktion to "Edit", insted of "Open".

My Computer >> Tools >> Folder Options >> File Types >> (scroll down) REG

Click "Advanced" button in bottom.

Select/highlight the option you want, and click "Set Default".

So now, the default action for .REG was "merge". the above can change it to "Edit".

Does it work for you?
