    Hta file type

    I have a windows 2000 PC and it does not know what a hta file is.

    any ideas.

    I believe you need to associate that file type with mshta.exe, which should be
    in your System32 folder.

      Start > Run > type "cmd" hit enter
      type "assoc .hta" hit enter
      It should report:
      ..hta=htafile
      type "ftype htafile" hit enter
      It should report:
      htafile=C:\WINN T\System32\msht a.exe "%1" %*

      If "assoc" reports something other than "htafile", then someone has
      changed the file association for the HTA file type on your machine and
      registered some other application to handle it. You can "ftype" that
      file type to determine which application.
      If "assoc" reports:
      File association not found for extension hta
      then someone has removed the file association from your machine.
