    I am creating a web page and I have text document links in my page that I want to open in notepad, but when I click on them they open in ie instead of notepad. How can I change the setting so that my links open to notepad instead of ie for ie 4 and up?

    You don't... IE will open textfiles in the browser....

    Possibly if you could get to the MIME type settings of the Web server you could change it, but I'm not sure....

    A web site said to enter that into the registry but I can't get it to work.

    REGEDIT4

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
    "IsTextPlainHonored "=dword:00000001

    Nope, it's got me stumped (BTW - the regedit above was not intended to do what you hoped it would!).
