Changing the Default View Source Editor in IE

Run REGEDIT, follow the following directions to the proper key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
- Software
-- Microsoft
--- Internet Explorer
---- View Source Editor
----- Editor Name (Default) = C:\windows\notepad.exe

If this doesnt exist (but it should) then create the Key "View Source Editor".

Then create a Key within that named "Editor Name". Modify the "(Default)" value to make it point towards any program on your computer using "D:\Tools\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe" (without the quotes).

Deleting Windows Media Player's Database

"1. Close Windows Media Player, wait about 3 seconds for the database to close.

2. Using 'My Computer', navigate to the following folder:
F (or whatever drive is appropriate for you):\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Index

3. Delete the 'wmplibrary....db' file here. This is not your actual music, only the database which Windows Media Player uses as a listing.

4. Start Windows Media Player

5. Hit 'F3' and enter the location where you have moved your music to. If it is on muliple drives, check 'All Drives'. Let it finish."
