Hi,
I do a lot of web developing, and so I typically view my pages in IE, FF and netscape. I've been trying for the last 2 hrs to figure out a way to create an action associate with .html and .htm files to open them in FF and netscape. Basically - when I right-click on a .html file, I want the menu to have Open in firefox and open in netscape on it - along with the typical IE open. So far I've gone into the Control Panel > folder options > file types > html > advanced
and tried to create a new action using called open in firefox with the program firefox.exe. When I do that and then try to right-click and "open in firefox" I get an error saying windows can't find the specified file - although it is in the exact place where it says it cant find the file!!! I'm thinking that I'm not using the right switches - I have 'use dde' checked and am using the following...
-url "%1"
Can someone PLZ help! I am lost otherwise! Forsaken in an IE run world on an MS OS.
