-------------------------------- 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?
