right-click menu

Is there a way to add "edit with" to the right-click menu on Windows
Explorer? It used to be there in XP, but now, to edit an HTML document, I
have to open the editor and search for the file. What a hassle...

Put a shortcut to the editor in your SendTo folder.

Re: right-click menu

Is it really a good idea to change the "open with" default from my browser
to my editor?
I'll try the send to, though...
Thanks,
Art

Re: right-click menu

When I right click on an Html document and select Open with, it gives me a
choice of editors.
