Am I going crazy? I went into tools-> folder options-> view-> filetypes and picked a file type like HTML. I could have sworn years ago there was the ability to change the different functions like edit or open.

Do you get an "Advanced" button? I'll admit that sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't (That's also the difference between a joke and a girl getting out of a car).
If you see it, that's where the settings are. You can sometimes make the "Advanced" button appear by fiddling with other settings.


No Advanced button, its set to 'restore'. Odd though, I'm using Firefox, and its set currently to use firefox, I see the right FF icon, and yet the help says, hit restore to reset it back to a firefox document. If I look at HTM, the 'restore' button now says 'advanced' as you (and I) thought it should be.
I'll pursue other options then, maybe regedit. I'm searching google and finding hits, and I might just hit 'reset' and then use the advanced to edit away!

I'm gone.
