    Windows "can't find" htm files - but then does so!

    In Vista click on any .htm file - Box appears: "Windows cannot find
    'D:\file.htm'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again" and
    a ping sounds - The .htm file immediately opens and the box remains until its
    OK button is pressed. Very irritating! So how to stop it?

    In Windows Explorer, browse to any .htm file. Right click and choose Open
    With... then choose the browser that you want it to open in.

    Thank you, but.... The problem occurs only when Firefox is set as the
    program to open with. It doesn't occur with IE or Safari. And I want to keep
    on using Firefox....
