Today I unintentionally brought up some Office Apps (some ctrl+alt key combination;
I'm not sure which now (p => powerpoint; e => excel; d => word; o => calendar,
c => calculator)) and now I find that if I name a file to anything.htm it gets a different
icon and when I try to edit it, up comes Microsoft FrontPage (Win XP Pro, SP2,
MS Office Pro 2003)
I do not want this. In the registry I had already manually made the appropriate
setting change so that the text says "Edit (via Emacs)" and that's what it was doing,
but no more. Now I find that some app, without asking, has changed it. That's just rude.
So my questions are:
1) How do I change the file association so that .htm files have the same icons that
they used to have (the default IE type icon).
2) How do I examine and change my key bindings. I am also interested in this
because I sometimes switch to a European keyboard layout and the swapping
of the y and z drives me nuts.
3) Does this file type usurption sound indicative of FrontPage, and can I ensure
that it does not do nasty stuff like this in the future?
Thanks for helping me set my system right.
