59261 2002-07-02 10:21:00 I'm running XP Professional - and for some reason, any files with the extension .html or .htm open with Notepad.

When I right-click on these files and select 'Open With', Internet Explorer is not on the list of installed programs, and if I browse my hard drive to try and add it to the list, it does not work.

I looked in Control Panel, and Internet Explorer isn't there. However, it works fine so I know that it is in fact installed.

I don't know if the application may be incorrectly titled in Program Files/Internet Explorer - if anybody else knows what it should be called in order for it to appear on my list of installed programs, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

59263 2002-07-02 10:31:00 thanks alot, it's working now .

my file was called IEXPLORE, so I renamed to IEXPLORE . exe and it's now opening them correctly .

I can't believe how fast I got a reply, it was like 1 minute .

That's really disturbing, but very helpful nonetheless
