.txt to .htm
Before I got WinXP, I could make an html file out of a
text file in notepad by putting in html tags and generally doing everything you could do by opening view source in Internet Explorer. I could then rename the file from whatever.txt to whatever.htm and check it with IE. Now WinXP won't let me rename a .txt file to a .htm file. Am I missing something? |

When you are using "Hide Known File Extensions," it can be a little tricky getting the extension you want attached to a file. TIP: When you save the file in notepad, put the file name and desired extension in quotes. Typing "webpage.html" will give you an html file. If you leave out the quote marks, you end up with webpage.html.txt instead. Sharon F MS MVP [Shell/User] |
