SYMPTOMS
When you issue a query, the abstract shows HTML code instead of useful data.



CAUSE
If an HTML file is filtered, but it does not have an .html, .htm, .asp, .htx file extension, then the file will not be filtered with the HTML file filter.



WORKAROUND
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

NOTE: These registry entries are ONLY FOR HTML files.

Using the registry editor, create a file association for the file type under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Create a key for the file extension, and place the following values in the key.

Name: (Default) <-- Note that this entry is blank

String Value = "htmlfile"

Name: Content Type

String Value = "text/html"
