-------------------------------- Here is a big part saying I found no important diffs so far -------------------------- I got some responses off list for this. John sent me these registry keys and they look very similar to mine, except for two small differences: 1) I have an EditFlags which John does not have. Tried renaming that value, but that did not help. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\FirefoxHTML] @="Firefox Document" "FriendlyTypeName"="Firefox Document" "EditFlags"=dword:00000000 2) He had some editor entries. Does not seem to be involved. John has assoc .htm=htmlfile while I have assoc .htm=FirefoxHTML Our ftype for those are similar. We also looked at "Add or Remove Programs -> Set Program Access and Default". No differences there either. * Summary John-me: It works for him, not for me. Only difference found is assoc, but when I tried changing that I got the same result. (However I am unsure if Emacs needs to be restarted, I did not do that.) Drew has no file assoc for .html. * Summary Drew-me: It does not work for anyone of us. assoc does not seem to be involved. ----------------------- And now I will ask for some more help ------------------------------------------ I have got the feeling that file:/// URLs are incompletely setup for me, but I am not sure. In Windows Explorer in the menus Tools - Folder Options in then in the tab File Options there are some entries in the beginning that does not have any file extensions. There I have for example "URL: File Transfer Protocol". That must be ftp://. However what I am missing there is something for file:///. Do you have something for that there?
