Jack,

Export the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\Edit] and post it here.

Hi Ramesh,
When I right click on an executable file such as an HTML file, the word
"Edit" is on the upper half of the Context Menu.  This appears to get there
when WinXP is installed.  I do not know how to access that particular upper
half Menu to change it.  However, I can audit the lower half of the Context
Menu by opening and adding or changing the contents of the "Send To" folder.
I added the Registry item as you suggested and restarted the computer.  Now
when I right-click an HTML file and select Edit, my Webedit program does not
open and I get a dialog saying Could not find
"D:\Webedit\Games\Trivia\Trivia03.html", which is the exact location of the
HTML file.
 As I indicated earlier, when I selected Edit on the Context Menu, Notepad
would open with the file I had right-clicked on opened for editing.  I want
the HTML file to open in the Webedit program rather than Notepad.
 I tried running the WinXP Compatability Wizard but it didnt change anything
that I could tell.  Would appreciate any more suggestions.

Sincerely,
Jack Nation
