For the default text editor, i think you should rely on the extensions.
HKCR\.txt\default = txtfile
HKCR\txtfile\shell\open\command\default = %SystemRoot%\system32\Notepad.exe "%1"
But available text editors is whole different ball game. Because how are you going to know which program is a text editor ? I don't think u really can.
Example: Total commander has a built-in text editor (i think). But the system doesn't keep track of that fact.
So i still think you should use the extension.
May i ask why you want to know the available text editors ?
