!popupfolder: odd thing with html files Thread last updated on 2003-06-03 09:48:32

I'm kind of at a loss on this. I just got back into litestep from a pre-OTS hiatus and was just modifying my personal popup file. The folder for the lsdocs is a nice idea and I'd like to use it, however all .html executions pull up the c:\windows folder (on Win98). Likewise with a new OTS docs folder which I set to:

"!popupfolder:"$litestepdir$OTS\*.htm""

Any reasons this might happen?

Thanks,
Bedwyr

Sounds like you don't have your system setup to associate .htm files with a browser.

You're using too many double quotes. Try this:
!popupfolder:"$litestepdir$OTS\*.htm"

(i.e. w/o the outer "" pair)

Sorry, I was being confusing and "quoted" the line in the popup file. It's not actually double quoted.

.htm and .html files are associated with IE. But, I hadn't thought about stupidly simple things in win98 itself that I could do (assumed it was how the module handled things). Sooo, I disabled "dde" settings for this filetype and it works swimmingly. Now, what exactly are these dde settings? I'm not familiar with them.
