Is the following the correct syntax for the htm and html file associations
if Firefox is in the indicted location and is the default browser?

K:\PROGRA~1\HKCOMMON\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -requestPending -osint -url "%1"

The DDE Message is

"%1",,0,0,,,,

If I right-click, I can open with IE, or any of several other programs.
Also, choosing to print or edit works.

However, if I double-click or choose open, I get a message such as

"Cannot find the file 'D:\whatever.htm" (or one of its components). Make
sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are
available."

However, the fike DOES open.

Normally, such a message means that the file association is ill specified,
but I did not that today..

How best to correct?
