Open with Default Viewer: This right click menu item will launch the Search & Replace default viewer (configurable in General Options). NOTEPAD.EXE is used if no default viewer has been defined. The file to open is determined by the focus in the Search Results list, which is marked by a thin rectangle or a highlight. Open with Default Viewer is not available if the Search Results is empty. Also see External Editors for more information.

Note: If the file is in a ZIP file, it is extracted to a subdirectory of the path specified in Search Options. If you edit a file in a ZIP, you must use your ZIP utility to update the ZIP as Search and Replace does not update changes to ZIP files. If you need a ZIP utility, check out our own Directory Toolkit for Windows95/NT.
