Program Associioation

[Guest]

Everytime I click on an Internet Shortcut, and error comes up saying, "This
file doesn not have a program associated with it for performing this action.
Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." I tried doing
that with no luck. I am trying to associate internet shortcuts and .html and
..htm and other internt links/shortcuts. Can somone tell me what I have to do
to associate the progam to it. I am trying to use firefox not IE. I think
the url for it is, C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1"

TIA!
