| 422862 | 2006-01-20 18:48:00 | Hi powertron. Go to Control Panel, click on Folder Options. Click on the File Types tab, then scroll down all the file extensions till you get to "XHT" and "XHMTL" Check that they are set to open with your internet browser. (Firefox, IE etc) If not, then click on "change" and then select your browser from the pop up menu and tick the "always use the selected program for this file" radio box, then click ok. Let me know if this helps. Nyuuji. |

| 422863 | 2006-01-20 19:34:00 | Why would you want to clutter the desktop with shortcuts? Why not just "Add to Favorites" in IE or "Bookmark" in Firefox? | pctek (84) | ||
| 422864 | 2006-01-20 20:44:00 | If you dont have either of those extensions, then instead of clicking change in previous instructions, click "New". Then type in XHT in the box and click ok. Then proceed as previous and click change etc... . Repeat for XHMTL extension. |
