There's no need to change file associations to use a different program.
We've all gotten used to clicking on a file name with its associated
icon, but, back in the day, you opened the program first, then the file.
I've often found Notepad useful in this respect, as it will open any
file at all, including .exe and .jpg, which can be a useful
troubleshooting tool at times.
My current HTML Editor is HTML-Kit, which has more features than 1st
Page 2000, but there are plenty of these to choose from also.

It's interesting how everyone has his own favorite text editor. Clint prefers
Metapad; I think Hugh suggests 1st Page (certainly when working with html).
Then there's ConText, DocPad, ShalomTxt, Win32pad and who knows how many
others. I prefer Notepad+, which has all the notepad features and then some.
And poor Bill Gates, all he has is lil' ol' Notepad with a tool bar as naked
as (choose your own simile) --- Harold
<snip> On many file types you can change the extension and have other programs
opening them where some can still be read. Like if you want to try and read
what's in a .exe file, change it to .txt and you can view it in Notepad. (In
my case, I just put a shortcut to Metapad [great powerful Notepad replacement]
in my right click context and "Send to......" area so I can send any file type
to Metapad and read what's in it. That's much easier and faster). --- Clint
