Vista Tweaks - View Source Editor
Recently having installed Windows Vista onto my development computer I am coming across a few things that have changed since XP. For example, Microsoft Script Debugger now no longer works, or at least crashes Internet Explorer when it’s installed. (update :see comments)
I thought however I would keep an open post and keep adding the solutions to things that I have found. The first is View Source Editor, as I am using a 64 bit version of Vista, the View Source Editor is now stored in a different location in the registry.
Start by opening regedit.exe, then add the keys “View Source Editor” and “Editor Name” under the relevant keys shown below. Finally change the default value of the Editor Name key to the location of the new text editor.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
|- Software
|– Wow6432Node
|—- Microsoft
|—– Internet Explorer
|—— View Source Editor
|——- Editor Name (Default) = C:\neweditorpath…….
If this doesn’t work for you I would use the original path as well
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
|- Software
|– Microsoft
|— Internet Explorer
|—- View Source Editor
|—– Editor Name (Default) = C:\neweditorpath……

A useful key stroke combination for the new “Switch Between Windows” feature (the 3D flip thingy) is Start + Tab, this mimics the original switching between programs Alt + Tab.
If you add Ctrl to either of those i.e. Ctrl + Start + Tab, you can let go of the keys and then use the mouse to select the window afterwards.

The Microsoft Javascript Debugger issue on Vista in IE7 can be fixed by installing the program from the outset in Administrator mode. To do this, right click on the installation file scd….exe and select ‘Run as Administrator’.
