How to Reinstall the HTML Default Editor to Internet Explorer 6

Web pages are made up of HTML code.

Internet Explorer 6's options dialog contains a pane that lets users select their default programs. Users can select default programs for email, newsgroups, calendars and editing HTML files. The default HTML editor in Internet Explorer 6 is Notepad. If you've installed and then uninstalled a different HTML editor, you might have to set the HTML editor to the default HTML editor of Notepad before the "Edit" option works properly on HTML files.

Instructions

1. Click the "Tools" menu at the top of the Internet Explorer window.

2. Click "Internet Options" in the menu that appears.

3. Click the "Programs" tab at the top of the Internet Options window.

4. Click the box to the right of "HTML Editor" and click "Notepad" in the list.

5. Click "OK."
