Tip 661: Could not find an Editor for H(.) files

When a problem starts coming up often, it usually means it's time for a tip addressing it.

The problem:

I want to insert an image into my signature.  When I click Advanced Edit I then click yes on using another editor. I get an error saying it can't find an editor for "H(.) files" .  Help!

Go to Control Panel, Internet Options, Programs tab and change the default HTML editor to another program in the list and apply. If you prefer to use the editor that was originally selected, you can change it back to the desired editor and apply.
