Some how I have Front Page Express editing my DevStudio HTML files. Can someone please help change this to some other editor? I can't remember how it set this up in the first place.
Thx.

Hai

Please look at the following fiile,Focshell, under C:\IBI\desktop436\home\bin folder. It would be having an entry as
HTMLEditor=frontpg.exe.

So we need to Change the value of HTMLEditor appropriately, to open the required, HTML Builder, be it Frontpage or interdev.

I hope the above information will help you.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. However I don't know wha file you are refering to. FOCSHELL.? Please supply an extension to the file you are referencing. I could not find any files with the entry you specified.

That would be focshell.ini, located in \ibi\desktop436\home\bin (if that's your path to Dev Studio).

Focshell.ini is the file name.

Thanks

Well that's interesting as I have no focshell.ini at all! My path is c:\ibi\DevStudio52\bin and there is no focshell.ini anywhere. Any other ideas?

Since 5.x release of Developer Studio, the focshell.ini file is replaced by the Windows registry entries.
You can try to experiment with the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Information Builders\DeveloperStudio\52\FOCSHELL\DesktopSettings\Shell
and the entry:
"HTMLEditor"="frontpg.exe"

Hope this helps

Still didn't do the trick.
I found the following works however:
Edit
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\explore.exe\shell\edit\command and set the (Default) to your HTML Editor of choice. Example:frontpg.exe

The HTML editor is configured at the Windows level, not in DevStudio; DevStudio actually uses the Windows setting to determine what editor to load for a particular file when you do an Open action.

Fastest way to configure it: Go to Internet Explorer. Select Tools > Internet Options. Click the Programs tab. There it is - the first entry. Change the program to whatever other one you want from the list.

Best answer yet! Thanks
