Hello All,

I can't open HTML file by double clicking without getting message box
say "couldn't find file" unless firefox is running in background.

After spending hours to figure out problem, I am posting this. I have
tried, re-installing firefox, changing association to internet
explorer and back to firefox. but nothing works.

I have Firefox/2.0.0.3 (latest). It's my default browser. Whenever I
double click html file I get following message (not exact words
though)

Windows cannot find "...html" file. Please use windows search to find
the file.

Interestingly enough, Firefox is launched and it opens file, in spite
of error. More interestingly if I have Firefox already running in
background it file is opened with no message box. I most of the time
have firefox running hence I can still live with it. But I will be
very grateful if someone could help in this.

Regards,
Pravin
