If they pulled it out of IE (likely!) then they moved it to using
the system registry. Let me see if I can locate that edit without using
regedit!
Start >> Settings >> Folder options >> File Types
If you change everything that uses Word to use WordPad, then that
SHOULD do it. The problem then is that the only way to get a document in
to word would be to start in word...
Another would be to select the type then:
Edit >> Open >> (change word to wordpad) >> OK >> New >>
Create a function EDIT that points to Word >> OK >> OK.
Some thing like this for each type associated with "word" should
work. Then you can right-click the file and select Edit to use Word in
place of WordPad.
HTML is at least text. Just a LOT of code strings in it, mostly
stuff inside "<>" characters. I think the current MS-IE has the Source
option in the Edit or View menu, in place of the File menu. Look at a
regular web page in there. Java, javaSCRIPT, VBSCRIPT and similar things
are programs run on your machine while it shows the page. I think you
know what THAT can lead to! Links start with <A or <a (I do not recall
what is correct, though I have seen both!) Note the URL in the "<img
src=" tags within SPAM!
