Actually, this entry is in the [XP] Registry, and inverse search returns me 
to Winedt.

What I am seeking is a return to my "favorite editor" when tex compilation 
encounters an error.

The MikTeX 2.9 manual miktex.pdf says (p.70):

The 'e' response to TEX's error prompt causes the default editor to start 
up at the current line of the current file. The configuration value {\it 
Editor} can be used to change the editor used. It may contain a string with 
%f indicating where the file name goes and %l indicating where the decimal 
line number (if any) goes.

But I don't know where the "configuration value {\it Editor}" is stored --- 
or how I can change it.
