I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and IE7. For the past
year I have never had any problem saving a web page thru IE& for off-
line reading,. The file was always saved as a “Web Archive, Single
file (*.mht).” I must have done something wrong in playing around with
my computer because I now cannot open any mht files that I save. This
has been happening for the past week. When I click on the file to open
it a dialog box pops up stating “This file does not have a program
associated with it for performing this action. Create an association
in the Set Association control panel. I tried this but I guess I’m too
slow in my thinking cause I still cant get it to work. I’ve read the
help files to know avail. Does anyone know what program opens
these .mht files? Please help if you can. Many Thanks.
Norman

Control Panel (Classic View) > Default Programs > Set your default programs
(first link) > highlight Internet Explorer > Choose defaults for this program
(bottom green arrow) > make sure .mht is checked and press the Save button in
the lower right corner.

As a workaround, have you tried dragging the .mht file over IE7, to access
it?

Can't you right click the file and Open With, and then select IE?

If you have MS office (MS Word), you also can install this handy MS program
that lets you unpack MHTML (MHT) to HTML and graphics folder and pack an
HTML file and graphics folder to single MHTML file.

It's very handy. Actually adds "pack web archive' and "unpack web archive"
options to the context menu when you right click on an MHT or HTML file.
Very nice!!!!! Works on my Vista computer, by the way, with Office 2000.

Find it
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN.

I think you may have to restart your computer after to install this free app
from MS

I believe MHT actually is a function of Outlook Express (Windows Mail), used
for sending single files by email with consolitdated text and
graphics.strangley, I find that if you email an attached.mht file, it
doesn't always arrive intact! But mht is a great way to save Web pages.

Actually, if you email a mht file, it will arrive with all the graphics
intact, just because they are all encapsulated in one file. That's why when
forwarding email messages, if you use Message | Forward as Attachment, you
wil also get the complete message.
