</div></div>Right click on the html file and choose properties.. Onne of the options<br>
is "Open With'. It will allow you to choose the default program to use<br>
to open the file.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You're THE man! =) Setting file associations this way did the trick -- it even allowed me to fix the same problem with JNLP (Java Webstart) files, which I could not associate to javaws.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'll file this upstream as a GNOME bug because the other method (through the "open with" popup menu option) should work the same way AFAICS.</div><div><br></div><div>Thks for the help =) (and for solving this mistery -- I knew there had to be a way to do this on GNOME 2.30 ;-))</div>
