- Installing HTML Notepad V2.2 for Windows 95
-
- If you are using Windows 3.1 and are reading this you have the wrong version.
- Please go and search for htmln295.zip it will definitely be at;
- http://www.cranial.com/software/htmlnote
-
- HTML Notepad does not have an install program as this would be larger than
- the main code. It is relatively simplistic and does not write files all over
- your hard disk. It also does not affect Windows in any way ( by adding info
- to the system registry for example). Below are some steps to installing
- HTMLn2, making it a Send To.. option in Explorer, making it the default html editor
- and removing it.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- (For downloaded version)
- 1. Use pkunzip -d to unzip all the files in the directory you would like them
- installed ( the -d is necessary as there are some directories which
- need to be created.) WinZip can also do this.
-
- (For floppy disk version)
- 1. Copy all files from the disk into a directory (apart from /software).
-
- 2. From Windows 95 go to the Start toolbar and right click on the toolbar
- itself. Select the properties section of the Window and then the
- Start Menu Programs tabbed control. After this click add and you
- will be given a Program Wizard which will allow to you browse for the
- executable. Place it in the folder of your choice and select a name.
-
- 3. You can also make HTMLn2 a shortcut on the Window by right clicking on
- the background and selecting New|Shortcut then follow the instructions
- as in 2.

- SENDTO
-
- If you would like to run HTML Notepad when you right click on a HTML file.
- (Warning this will always give you the DOS 8:3 version of the name. We have no
- idea why and would love to hear how to get around this.)
-
- 1. Start Explorer. Find the directory underneath windows called SendTo.
- (c:\windows\SendTo on most systems)
-
- 2. Right click on the file section of Explorer and select New|Shortcut and
- then browse for the HTML file executable.
-
- 3. Test your setup by right clicking on a HTML file and selecting the
- SendTo|HtmlNote option. Nice, huh.
-
-

- DEFAULT HTML EDITOR
-
- 1. From any Explorer window, choose View|Options and then File Types tab.
-
- 2. Scroll down the list of registered extensions until you come to HTML Document
- (or whatever it's called on your system).
-
- 3. Click Edit and then in the dialog that opens up choose the New button.
-
- 4. Call the new action Edit. In the next space, type the pathname of HTML Notepad.
-
- 5.Click OK until you're out of the boxes.
-
- 6. Then go to the folder that contains your HTML files. Right click on
- one and choose Edit. HTML Notepad opens up. (If you put a shortcut in the
- SendTo folder, you can delete it now.)

- REMOVING
-
- Removing HTML. This will of course never happen but just in case.
-
- 1. Just delete all the files in the directory and also delete any folder or
- shortcuts made. You cannot affect Windows by deleting htmln2.
