I installed firefox browser. It changed all html files on C: drive
with IE6 icons to firefox icons.
Now I am stuck with firefox. If I uninstall firefox and double click
on html icon, it can't open.
How do I change all html file types back to IE icon so I am not stuck
with firefox forever?
-------------------------------------------------------
If you open 'my computer' leftclick on "tools" then goto "folder options"
then click on the "file types" tab; search through the list for HTM and HTML
files, click change and select Internet explorer (if you cant find it in the
list browse to "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" (winXP) )
