SYMPTOMS
When you click Customize This Folder on the View menu in My Computer or Windows Explorer, you may receive an error message indicating that your default HTML editor could not open the Folder.htm file.

If FrontPad is your default HTML editor, you receive the following error message:

Couldn't open file \\Folder.htm. If you click OK, you receive the following error message:

File doesn't exist. If Notepad is your default HTML editor, you receive the following error message:

Cannot open the \\Folder.htm. Make sure a disk is in the drive you specified.

CAUSE
