If I look at "Folder Options", then select "File Types", then scroll
down to "html", I see in the "details" section that it says "Opens
with:". Where in the registry is that information? Also, if I click
"Advanced", I see a list of actions. Where in the registry is the
"printto" action defined for the html file type? Thanks in advance.
 
Franco,

It's here:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\printto

Assuming that you're using IE as the default browser. Each sub-key in the
following key represent an action:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell
