I think we're confusing what the default browser setting does. When you
specify the default browser, you are associating a browser with the _HTTP
protocol_. So when an application calls 'ICLaunchURL' and specifies an
"
http://"; url, the browser selected as the default will be launched.
The association for a .html document is separate and distinct from the
browser setting. In this case, you are specifying the application
associated with the ".html" file extension. Changing the default browser
should not alter the behavior for opening .html files. (In my case, I've
selected BBEdit as my preferred application for .html files... while
Explorer is my preferred browser).
