As a follow-on to my last entry, Setting up CFBuilder to process htm files with the ColdFusion editor, I wanted to offer more info for those who may want to know more about this--or ensure that more is shared with any who would consider doing this.

A client of mine asked if I might know how he could setup ColdFusion Builder 2 so that when he opened an htm file with it, it opened with its ColdFusion editor.

The solution for getting CFB to open an HTM file in the CF editor is not too hard, but since he was thrown off a bit by some things he saw (when I suggested simply that the answer was in Builder's Preferences>General>Editors>File Associations page), I offered the specific steps. I then decided to go ahead and blog it, since I don't find anyone else having done so (feel free to comment if someone did).
