Right click the file, go to properties.
It'll say "Opens with" and you just have to hit that Change button there to associate them with IE again.

Thanks, captaincrunch00. I was able to do that. But, I can't seem to find the extension names HTM & HTML in the File Types tab on the Folder Options dialog box. And, the file's icon has also changed. Any idea how I can restore the extension name in File Types & restore the original icon for HTM/HTML?

The icon changed to whatever it opens with now I am assuming.
Go into Notepad, type some random stuff, heck just copy/paste this into notepad, then do a save as and save the file type as .html and be sure to change the bottom box from "Text Document" to "All Files"
Then go to where you saved the file, right click it, go to properties then do the same thing I said above. Click the "Change" button, and change the association to IE.
That should change the icon, the file associations, and everything back on all of your IE stuff.
If you have shortcuts to IE on your desktop and that is what is screwed up, then you'll probably want to start a new thread asking about how to fix that one.

Thanks for your patience, captain.
I did exactly what you instructed, but, the icon for HTM/HTML is still different from the default; the extension names are still missing in the File Types tab.
I don't think the IE shortcut on my desktop is screwed up. It opens w/o any hitch.
