If you don't mind EditPad replacing Notepad entirely [no bad thing, considering Notepad's limitations] you could just rename "notepad.exe" to "_notepad.exe" and put a shortcut to editpad.exe in that folder. Then rename the shortcut to "notepad.exe". Faustus _____________ Already did this for IE. Went into Windows folders and changed anything that had notepad to editpad by the method you just explained. But I don't see in the Firefox folder where I can do this. I don't know what they call their text editor.
