How Can I Disable NetBeans default Property Editor for properties files?

Time and time again I have been running into this problem of where I simply want to open up an external xxx.properties file in a plain text editor (like the one when you right-click on a properties file and choose "Edit" as apposed to "Open") so that I can easilly click and drag across several lines of properties declarations and copy. The Default property editor for any properties files external to the project (when you choose File->Open File) is this Properties editor table which is completely useless to me and I never use it anyhow (except for this specific case unless I get annoyed enough to use notepad).

I am currently using NetBeans 4.0 RC1

Anybody share this? Have any solutions?

Thanks.
