HTML Tips::
Create .htm files in Notepad
Save As – File Type ŕ All Files NOT text files.
Keep all .htm files in the same folder (this is how a web site is stored).
Double-clicking an .htm file opens it in the Internet Explorer, where web pages are generally viewed by users. To edit an .htm file, right click on the icon, choose “Open With”, then choose “Notepad” or FrontPage.
