Yes, I have noticed! Knowing about that doesn't always stop it in time. :(

1130191 2010-08-22 00:01:00 Thanks for that - I will do that (carefully!).

PS I like your avatar - had to peer at it closely to see what it said... :)

Actually the first link may be the closest to what you want/need, maybe disregard the others.

Thanks, I thought it was apt/cute :).

1130194 2010-08-22 07:55:00 Success, success! :) I've just edited the Registry as per:

1.Start, click Run, type Regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2.Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html
3.Right click the value for the .html key and select Modify...
4.Change the value from "ChromeHTML" to "htmlfile" (or from FireFoxHTML to htmlfile)
Repeat these steps for htm and .shtml keys if they exist. You may also want to check the xhtml and xhtm keys.

And all is now sweet! I tried all the non-reg editing stuff first, but at the end of the day, one has to bite the bullet (carefully, as I said!).
