Opening Opera web pages on my computer

This is sort of a general question in Windows 98, so if this is the wrong
group I'm sorry.

A while ago I changed the default browser in my Win 98 computer from IE to
Opera. At around the same time, I think, all the web pages saved on my
computer changed their icon to the Opera icon from the IE icon.

But now I see that when I click on one of these saved web pages, it doesn't
open the document, it just activates the Opera application.

If I hold shift and right click the html document's icon, and choose the
Open With dialog box, and choose Opera, the same thing happens: the Opera
application gets activated, but the document does not open.

However, if I use the Open With dialog and choose IE or Firefox, the
document opens normally in IE or Firefox.

How can I simply open the web page in Opera?

Alternatively, can I assign the html file type to open in IE or Firefox,
even while leaving Opera as my default browser?

Thanks.
Larry

Is the extension you're trying to open *.mht?

No, it's .htm.

to keyboard and composed:

This is tedious, but right click, choose properties, highlight the
http://xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com hit ctrl C to copy it. Then paste it into
the URL line in Opera. It will work, but that's too much hassle for
me.

I'm using Opera 9.26. My HTM file associations work as expected, ie
clicking a HTM file launches Opera, as does clicking a URL in my email
client (Eudora) or newsreader (Agent).
