      When selecting View Source from the Microsoft Edge right-click menu I would like Notepad++ to open the page I am viewing. Can this be done? If so, how do I make that happen?

        @Ronald-Dupas ,

        Unfortunately, as far as I could find when searching the internet for “microsoft edge choose view source editor”, the developers at MS have decided that you should never need to view source in anything but the default Edge View Source tool. There is nothing Notepad++ can do to get around that limitation built into Edge.

          No.
          You would have to manually select the entire view source page, right click and copy and then paste that into a new document in Notepad++ and save it with a name to do anything else with it. Just did it. Using Edge even for this, gave me goosebumps, waiting for it to take over my desktop. Running a virus scan now. :)
