How can I quickly send files to Notepad for quick editing?
This is one of my favorite tweaks, and it will amaze you how you lived all these years without knowing it (or did you? you wouldn't be here if you did...)
SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) monitors network traffic by capturing flow data from network devices, including Cisco® NetFlow v5 or v9, Juniper® J-Flow, IPFIX, sFlow®, and Huawei NetStream™.
Find the bandwidth hogs by using SolarWinds NTA to identify which users, applications and protocols are consuming the most bandwidth and the IP addresses of the top talkers. Download a full-functional, 30-day trial and in less than an hour, you can fire up network bandwidth monitoring and start getting a comprehensive view of your network traffic and the location of bottlenecks.
The easiest way of all is to do the following:
- Go to %SystemDrive%\documents and settings\%username%\sendto (or \Windows\SendTo in Win9X).
- Right-click in the right hand panel and select New > Shortcut
- Create a new shortcut to Notepad.exe in the sendto folder.
Now if you right-click any REG, TXT, VBS, CMD, DAT, NFO etc. file, you can choose the Send To menu and send the file to Notepad which will immediately open it for editing.
BTW, you can do this with any Notepad replacement you're currently using. Read Free Notepad Replacements for more info.
