I just went into my ftp and did the following to change the editor from WordPad to NotePad, but it did not work:
Edit > Settings... > File Editing > Default Editor: (changed it from "Do not use default editor" to "Use custom editor:", from which point I browsed for Notepad here C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe)
I clicked OK.
Then I right-clicked on the config.php file and chose "View/Edit", and when the window
Quote:
The selected file is already being edited: config.php
Action to perform:
x Reopen local file
x Discard local file then download and edit file anew
popped up, I chose "Discard local file then download and edit file anew".
It opened the file again in WordPad...............

Please can someone walk me through this? I'm really worried about losing the content of my website that I'd spent all day doing today......

Ok, you know what? This is ridiculous. I just downloaded Notepad again.
I clicked that I wanted it to be the default editor.
And when I click "View/Edit" the config.php file, it ****STILL**** opens in WordPad.
Can I just copy and Paste Special as Values (no formatting) from WordPad into Notepad? Or is the text ***already*** messed up the moment it is opened in WordPad????
This is very frustrating!!! What is the point of having WordPad if it just messes up text????
