Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Can't you
add another editor under the Explorer folder "folder options"/"file types"/"edit" setting for html? I did that on my Windows box, then went under IE's "Internet Options"/"programs" and Voila! there was the editor...

Ah, the 'intuitive benefits' of MS-style integration...

New Ooh... didn't try that one.
Well, okay, Vim is now listed, but IE still calls up NotePad when I go view source. :-/

"Ah. One of the difficult questions."

New Play with the registry?
It looks to me like the choice is controled by a registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.htm\\OpenWithList\\Notepad\\shell\\edit\\command

You might play with the registry and insert your prefered editor.
Alternately you might just remove the section from Notepad down, and let the system ask you what you want to use.

If you do this be sure to save a copy of the registry hive first.
