How do I change the editor/viewer?

When I double-clock to view/edit a source file (ex: .cs) in PTC Integrity, it launches notepad.

Notepad does not show line numbers; so, I would like to change this,

I have not been able to find wher to change this.

Thanks,

Mark

    In my experience, setting up an actual editor preference in Integrity is not a viable solution because then it becomes the editor for all file types. Try opening a MS Office document with that!

    But I've found a trick to ensure that the Integrity client uses the same associations as Windows 7's double-click: For Integrity Preferences, do not use "Use System Editor". This would be the logical choice but doesn't work because of the confusion between Open and Edit in Windows 7.

    Instead, specify an "Editor" but use "explorer.exe" for the program name. Now Integrity will launch Windows Explorer which will use its association the way you expect.

    Hello Mark,

    This setting is controlled by Windows - the file opens in whatever program you have associated with its extension. See Article 159278 for instructions to change this.

    Hi Mark,

    To close the loop on this for future reference: In most environments*, a user should be able to obtain their SCN by going to their server's home page and looking for their contract number, in the left column just above the copyright notice.

    *In some environments, administrators have disabled the home page. We generally recommend against doing that, because there is useful information there for various particular non-usage situations.
