You Can look in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\... too.

Thanks Jacques. The entries there are similar, no "View Source Editor", and "Default HTML Editor" is also set to "WinWord". NPAD does not show up there, it is only found in two places, in it's expected place under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\, and in some numbered item under HKEY_USERS under software, and seems to have only items listed in each case as I'd expect to be there.

Did you search the whole registry, by selecting "My computer" in regedit, then from edit menu "find..." check only data and write "npad.exe" as target.
If it is not set in "Default HTML editor", it may be a file association in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\classes or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\classes.
Something to test is to create a new user account to see if npad open when you ask to view source in IE when logged with that new account. If not then it means that the association between npad and IE "view source" is registered in the current user profile not machine profile (or default user profile). To resolve issue related to a specific user profile, the simplest way (but drastic) is to delete that user an recreate it. * WARNING * make a backup "c:\documents and settings\%username% before deleting the user. Windows xp as a tool for that in start\programs\accessories\system tools\files ans settings transfert wizard.
