Editor Initialization Variable
Specifies an editor program to use for viewing/editing files. The Visual SourceSafe command line also uses the Editor variable for comments unless you specify a different editor with the Comment_Editor initialization variable.
Syntax
Editor = <editor executable file>
Remarks
When you use the View File command, Visual SourceSafe Explorer must determine the program that it should run to display the file. The last place that it looks for information is in the Editor variable in the initialization files. Because this variable is not extension-specific, it is not generally the best place to specify an editor. However, it can be useful to set a default editor for all files for which extensions are not found.
You can set this variable in your Ss.ini file directly or in Visual SourceSafe Explorer. In Visual SourceSafe Explorer, use the SourceSafe Options dialog box, General tab.
Examples
Sets the editor to Me.exe:
Editor = C:\Me\Me.exe
