[Symptom]: During the installation the installer creates [start] task bar items for editing the pg conf files. These menu commands are embedded with the following commands: "C:\Windows\System32\notepade.exe" C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\pg_hba.conf For me, I really don't like using notepad so for a time I would rewrite this embedded command with the following: "C:\Program Files\Vim\vim70\gvim.exe" C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\pg_hba.conf The only problem is that I don't like having to repeat this process every time I install PostgreSQL. [Feature Request]: I would be nice if the installer would create an Environment Variable named something like EDITOR, that would point to the path of notepad. The embedded links for the .conf files would now look like: "%EDITOR%" C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\pg_hba.conf Then I would only have to change the value of 1 Environment Variable rather than 3 menu item commands. Also, maybe the stack build could include an option to install FOSS editors and pagers as part of the PostgreSQL installation. Then the entire process could be automated.
