I seem to recall that the easy way to get IE to use a "not notepad"
editor for looking at HTML source is to "associate" html files with
another program.
(Thinks: In File Explorer (not IE), right-click a HTM(L) file ; go Open
with .. then browse to the file (eg Editpad.exe) that you want to use.

Of course, it's been a while and I may be talking total crap.

.... which of course, I am. *EDIT with* is what you need. And I've
forgotten how to do that.
