Edit HTML With What You Want

In IE you will find that thehtml file  is normaly opened in program using which it was created. IE  attempts to detect the program that was originally used to create an HTML file. Once detected it opens the same program for editing the document .



You in all possibilities  want to see your default editor open which you have set. Now using this hack you can prevent IE from doing this. Open Regedit(Start>>Run>>Type regedit).

Navigate to:

HCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Create or modify the String Value called CheckDocumentForProgID. Set it to Yes or No. Restart/Log off  for the change to take effect. Disabling the feature will cause Internet Explorer to use the default

HTML editor for all editing.
