Windows 98se & IE6 question


In MS Internet Explorer 6 under Windows 98se under "File, Edit with"
it shows Microsoft Word.

Can That be changed to show Front Page Express and if so how. Be
specific please.

Thank you.

What are you attempting to edit?

IE Tools | Internet Options | Programs | HTML editor: What options are
available here?

Mine shows "Windows Notepad" if I'm viewing a HTM file.

When I go to Tools - Internet Options - Programs, under HTML editor
I'm given a choice of Windows Notepad or OpenOffice.org 1.1.0.

In the event that Front Page Express does not appear in your drop down
list, you can add it via Explorer (not IE). Select View - Folder
Options - File Types, locate HTML Document, and click Edit. Select
New. In the Action box type &Edit and in the "Application used to
perform action" box type the path and filename of the Front Page
Express executable (fpxpress.exe). You can use the Browse button to
locate it on your hard drive. Type OK to finish.

I'm not sure, but you may have to enclose the Front Page Express
executable in quotes, and you may need to add an argument, eg ...

"C:\FPX_folder_name\fpxpress.exe" "%1"

Hopefully someone will be able to clear this up.

It used to be yes with IE5, but with IE6 came a relentless file
associationing with Front Page and NOT Front Page Express. Read - it
can NOT be changed from "Front Page Editor" text...

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\Applications\F pxpress.exe\shell]
"FriendlyCache"="Front Page Express"
"FriendlyCacheCTime"=hex:01,00,00,00,b4,af,bd, 70

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\Applications\F pxpress.exe\shell
\edit]
@="&Edit"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CLASSES\Applications\F pxpress.exe\shell
\edit\command]
@="C:\\PROGRA~1\\MICROS~1\\bin\\Fpxpress.exe %1"

The above reg file entries are related to a working Front Page Express
installation. In order for FPX to show in the Internet Options|
Programs tab drop down selector for an HTML editor the above
"FriendlyCache"="Front Page Express" entry needs to exist as the Front
Page Express part is the text in the drop down text box. The trouble
is that with IE6, it will overwrite that text with "Front Page Editor"
each time the drop down box is used so you will have to learn to live
with calling it Front Page Editor in the drop down text while the path
points to Front Page Express instead. The path must be valid also, on
one of my machines Micros~4 was the correct name for that folder - it
would be best to just overinstall FPX to let it correct the proper
entry rather than use the reg files supplied above.

Of course you need to install Front Page Express first before it can
be used. It was dropped from IE 5 way back before IE 5.01 IIRC. You
can still get it as a stand alone installer that will work with IE 6
but only if you are willing to call it Front Page Editor from:
http://www.paulsxp.com/downloads.html

This FPX installer has the last version of FPX files MS issued.

It worked like a charm. I did have to put the quotes around it before
it would work.

Thank you very much for the help.
