Windows Explorer managing htm/html files

[Abhishek]

Hi,
I would like to know how Windows explorer manages htm/html files and
the supporting folders of those files. While copying a htm/html file from
a location, Windows automatically copies the supporting files folder also
along with the htm file. How is the association made by the windows for
the file and the supporting folder? I would like to perform a similar
functionality programmatically. Can anybody suggest how to do the same?

Thanks,
Abhishek.

By name. The shell implements this special case whenever you have a file
named FileName.htm[l] and a folder FileName_files. There is an option
controlling this behavior - Control Panel | Folder Options | View |
Managing pairs of Web pages and folders.

Maybe you can do it with a shell extension. A copy hook, perhaps.

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
