Trick To Write HTML In The Notepad

Guys ,if you use Windows Operating System , you don't need to buy or download an editor in order to write HTML . You have a perfectly functional editor built into your operating system called Notepad .
In fact , for many people this is all the entire HTML editor they will ever need because it is free as well as simple .
There are only a few steps to creating a Web page with Notepad or write HTML with Notepad :
Open Notepad Notepad is nearly always found in your "Accessories" menu or you can go to start->run->type in Notepad , a notepad will open .
Start writing your HTML Remember that you need to be more careful than in an HTML editor . You won't have elements like tag completion and validation which happens to be in software .
Save your HTML to a file This is the tricky part . Notepad normally saves files as .txt . But since you're writing HTML , you need to save the file as .htm or html , both will work .
If you're not careful , you'll end up with a file named something like filename .htm .txt
Here's how to avoid that :
Click on "File" and then "Save As"
Navigate to the folder you want to save in
Change the "Save As Type" drop-down menu to "All Files ( * .* )"
Name your file , be sure to include the .htm extension e .g . homepage .htm
Remember HTML isn't terribly hard to learn , and you needn't buy any

Well , in such cases where the registry tweak is applied , the downside happens to be that even some known files get associated with notepad - but no , all we want is to be able to open a file with notepad - the association part in such cases is unwanted interference . Also , notepad becomes a permanent fixture on the right-click menu - which is again an annoyance .
So what we do , is to have notepad as an option in the Send-To options , of the right-click menu in explorer . It fulfils the purpose to perfection ( atleast , in my case ) . Here's what we do :
right-click desktop , choose "New >> Shortcut"
Type the location of the item - "notepad" - ( that's all , no need to give path )
Next >> type name for shortcut - "Edit with Notepad"
Click finish
Now right-click this shortcut on the desktop , and
