📎 AI Summary:
The thread centers on changing the default application used when right-clicking an XML file and choosing **Edit**, since it currently opens in Notepad even though TXT “Edit” behavior can be changed. The key question is whether this can be adjusted via Internet Explorer’s “default editor” or the underlying registry/file-association entries for XML, rather than just the Notepad handler. Overall sentiment is practical and troubleshooting-focused, with the original poster seeking the correct association/edit settings rather than expecting a simple UI option.

I am trying to make it so if you right click on an XML document and click EDIT that NOTEPAD is not the program that opens but a differently installed program. I have figured out how to change how EDIT responds on TXT files, but can't figure it out with XML files. I have also considered that the drop down box in Internet Explorer on the default editor might be the trick, but the only option is NOTEPAD. So if I can figure out how to change the entries in the list then maybe that would be the fix, otherwise I'm sure it will be a registry fix.

Thanks, George Jackson
