Hi Chuck, > I am new to the list...

One way to check is to look in the IE settings on the Programs tab. Alternatively you can look in the registry at HKCR\.html and see what the 'default' value is. Then look again for the value that appears there as HKCR\whateveritwas\shell. For example, if it's "htmlfile" dig to HKCR\htmlfile\shell - then find the 'default' value here and continue digging to HKCR\htmlfile\shell\whateverthatwas\command and look at the default entry here. I'm guessing that what is happening is that in SP2's stricter HTML parsing it sets the default action for HTML files as 'open' and that effectively changes the behavior from opening the html file in a browser, to opening it in your default html *editor.* That's probably good for security but not very nice for us DQSD'ers. I'm sure SP2 has good reasons for doing this (lots of viruses rely on IE's default and poor parsing in order to infect you), so you are better off either changing your default browser to Firefox (the option to set it as default may fix this) or leaving the launchmode changed as you describe.
