You can change the "View Source" editor of IE6 by adding the following to the Windows Registry. Change the path in case you installed VIM in another location.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name]
@="C:\\vim\\vim60\\gvim.exe"

Also worth looking at vimtip #118 which deals with defaulting the syntax to html and eating extra spaces.

I wanted to use wordpad when i choose "view source" in ie 6. this tip made it possible. just follow tip #134 and you can do this also.  
wordpad lets you use your most common keyboard commands such as ctrl-s, ctrl-a etc. basically all the ones that notepad does not. no need for any extra script file if you use wordpad. THANKS VIM !
