I did the uninstall of the old editor then reinstalled version 12.5 and now when I right click on a HTML file on my pc and select "Open with" the editor isn't listed as a choice. I then click "Choose default program" and browsed and clicked on the editor shortcut on my desktop and checked the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and it doesn't open in the editor but opens in FX.
Any ides.:)

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric described my problem perfectly but when I try to view the solution in Scott's post 178528, I get an Error 404 (page not found). Is there a way I can find an archived post or get Scott to repost or ???
