SYMPTOMS
When you start Internet Explorer on a computer running Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), and add the Edit button to the Internet Explorer toolbar, when you click the Edit button, Notepad may start as the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) editor.

RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, follow these steps:


 * 1) Start Internet Explorer. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
 * 2) Click the Programs tab, click the HTML editor you want to use, and then click OK.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
