(No) Installation

Simply run the self-extracting archive. It copies the files to a new program directory and creates a shortcut "MEditor" on the desktop where you can drag and drop text files to. The installation program does not make any entries in the Windows registry. Double clicking to a text file with unknown extension will show a dialog where you can choose the ME.EXE file as the default program to open with.

To completely substitute NOTEPAD.EXE, open the Windows main directory, normally C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT. Rename NOTEPAD.EXE to NOTEPAD_OLD.EXE and copy ME.EXE to NOTEPAD.EXE. You have also to copy the files ME-E.HLP and ME-E.CNT without renaming.

To uninstall, simply delete the shortcut on the desktop and the program directory.
