OK this is an unusual question. Whenever you have an HTML file on the desktop (or in a folder) and you want to open it, you double click it right? But you can also open it when you right click the HTML file and select 'open', but that only opens it in the default browser, is it possiable to have another option put in? I have IE as my default browser, and I want to put NS as an option in the right click.
Does this make sense?
 
hi wannalearn,

Just hold shift while right clicking then there should be a new option called "open with" or something like that!

I hope this helps,

BobbaFet Everyone has a right to my opinion.

Well you may try something like this:

This will make Netscape appear when you right click the HTML file:

1) open your Windows Explorer.
2) click on TOOLS.
3) then FOLDER OPTIONS
4) FILE TYPES
5) try to find in the registered file type list the html
and/or htm file type.
6) click on the edit button
7) Then a new window will open up.
8) click on ADD button
9) on the ACTION field put the text you would like to
appear when you right click (anything you want)
10) Then click in Browse and point it to whatever program
you would like to use.

That's it.... click ok on every window to close them all

Hope this help....
