the default "save as" in notepad

message from =?Utf-8?B?ZXRobml1?= on 9 Jun 2004
i use notepad mostly for html and css. and everytime i save as, i have to pick all files from the dropdown box. is there any way to make "all files" the default in the "save as" dropdown box in notepad?

For saving a file, only one file type at a time. Think about it. If it
were all files what type would it save as???

On the other hand do you mean open?

notepad has two options in the dropdown menu for the "save as". one is .txt, that is default. the other is "all files" that one you simply type the extension you want in the name of file. for example, to save an html document titled index. you go to "save as", choose all files. then you put the name of the file has index.html and it's saved as html.

i would like to be able to have the "all files" choice default, so that i'm not constantly having to change it from .txt to all files.

is there a way to change the default in the dropdown "save as" box, from the .txt choice to the all file choice. or even a way to get rid of the .txt option in the save as box. i could always just type .txt after any text file i do.

You need to write your own notepad.
