[RESOLVED] Prompt to open .htm and html files

[Welshjim]

I just did a Repair Install. Most things went well.
One glitch is that when I try to open .htm files in Favorites I get the prompt shown in the screenshot. I just click Open, but it is a nuisance. This does not occur with .htm files already downloaded to the hard drive.
I assume this is caused by a setting in IE Internet Options (perhaps Security or Advanced tabs), but I cannot determine which one.
Can you tell me the setting?
I already checked in Default programs that IE is the Default program for .htm and .html files.

Good Grief! I cannot find how to add the screenshot.
In text, here is what it says.
What do you want to do with xxx.htm?
open (the file won't be saved automatically)
save
save as

I figured out how to attach screenshots, I think. Attachment 11123

This seems a new and overly complicated procedure.

IE may be the default program, but there still may be a file association issue. You might try a fix from one of the links below:

jdc2000--Thanks for your response.
It turned out I needed to do an IE9 Reset! I could not believe it, since I had only installed IE9 a day ago when the Repair Install gave me IE8.
I would not have thought a new install of IE9 needed a Reset.

I wonder if anyone else has seen that prompt.

IE9 = junk
IE10 = beta

I have seen too many strange issues with IE9 for me to be using it, and since IE10 beta is already out, IE9 is unlikely to see any fixes for issues.
