doesn't sound like a frontpage problem.

you need to re-associate whatever file you are trying to open with the proper program.

shift+rightclick and select the program you want to open whatever file/program it is you are opening - also select the check box that says: always open with this program (something like that)

hth.

WELL, what i try to do is. THAT i want to open an added
HTML file that is added in my favourites folder.
So when i go thru START > FAVOURITES and try to open
www.google.com (as example), my frontpage expr. opens
instead of that site in I.E.

this is not a frontpage problem - unless you've somehow associated FPE to open all your web icons...read on:

but...does this happen only when you try to open a website through Favorites...or ANYTIME you try to open a website?

If it happens anytime...the solution is as I said previously...re-associate ANY website icon back to IE as the opening program...not FPE.

If it only happens through Favorites...I'm not sure what the problem is.

HTH.

hmmm. dunno. if you have TweakUI you could see if there is a repair choice in TweakUI...otherwise you should post this problem on Internet Explorer Newsgroup.

You need to try the solutions already offered.

One that might not have been offered, is to re-install IE or whatever
browser you are using.
