can't associate FrontPage with htm and html files
in [FrontPage]
|
From: anna on 20 Mar 2010 13:55 I thought this was a windows Vista Home Premium problem with file associations, but since I have tried everything I can think of using default programs, Open With, server associations, I think it must be a problem with Front Page 2003 when I go to html or htm files, right click to Open With, Front Page is not in the list of programs I can associate the file with. When I browse, I can find frontpg.exe, but when I click on it, it will not associate with any program. It will not go into the default programs list. I have reset associations in start, default programs utility in Vista Home Premium. Again, I try to change the html and htm file associations but the frontpg.exe will not change the association. I even tried to Enable FrontPage Server Extensions on the System, using the MMC snap-in console. Still can't associate FP2003 with any default program. What else is there? I have installed and uninstalled Frong Page, which is a stand along program. I have Office 2003 but did not install FP in with the Office suite. I had the same issue when it was installed withing MS Office 2003. What else can I do? -- @nna

From: LD55ZRA on 20 Mar 2010 18:01 By default, all htm and html files are associated to open with either Internet Explorer or in rare circumstances other browsers where the user has changed this deliberately. However, what you want is the default editor to edit html files and you can try this by opening your Internet Explorer and going to Tools, Internet Options, and now clicking on Programs. The first item is html editor and this is where you can select FP2003. On some machines (I won't go into detail about this here) you need to be in Administrator login for any changes to be permanent. hth "anna" <anna(a)accblockspamcom> wrote in message news:318557D8-331E-4000-B539-75DA119EE450(a)microsoft.com... >I thought this was a windows Vista Home Premium problem with file >associations, but since I have tried everything I can think of using >default programs, Open With, server associations, I think it must be a >problem with Front Page 2003 > > when I go to html or htm files, right click to Open With, Front Page is > not in the list of programs I can associate the file with.

I did however see more extensions associated with Front Page. Still, when I try to open with, default program, and select Frontpg.exe, it will not select. Is there a remover of FrontPage 2003 so I can install it as if for the first time? I can do it manually also, if there is a file guide online. In the default programs that I can choose from when I select Open With, there is a flag that says Misc. When I was having trouble associating Front Page, I think I accidentally had the always open with checked when it jumped to a Misc file. Where would I go to unassociate that Flag Misc in the program associations? -- @nna
