I have Crimson Editor come up instead of notepad when I click
View Source. Did the name change like you did but I went in
physically and changed all the places notepad was in.
So how do you run a bat file???

Under replacing Notepad with Metapad on Windows XP:
A variation on the method above follows (submitted by Samutz):
I found another way to replace notepad with metapad that
doesn't require
you to work too fast. I made a copy of metapad.exe called
notepad.exe, then
made a batch file with the following commands:
copy /-y notepad.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache
copy /-y notepad.exe C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
copy /-y notepad.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32
copy /-y notepad.exe C:\WINDOWS
Then I saved it as copy.bat and ran it. It prompts for
overwrite for
each file, but all you have to hit is Y and Enter a few times. I
find it
much easier than trying to flip through folders as fast as I can
to paste it
before Windows replaces it.
