Open with another program

[Ernie Lane]

I would like to open an HTML shortcut that I have with something other
than my default browser. I don't have an "open with" choice in my
right-click menu.

I use Firefox as my default browser, and so HTML shortcuts open in
Firefox. However, some web pages require Internet Explorer; is it
possible to make shortcuts to those pages open in IE?

There is an add-on utility for Firefox that lets you open a web page
with IE... and you can choose to always open it with IE if you like.

It's called IE View

Hi Ernie,

Are they HTML files (*.html) or Internet Shortcuts (*.URL)?
