Some Webmasters prefer to use the file extension .html instead of just .htm for their Web pages. When you start a new HTML file in Visual InterDev 6, it uses .htm. However, you can change the template that VID uses so that you'll never have to touch the extension again. First, close Visual InterDev, then go into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VintDev98\Templates\Web Project Items\ and rename the file New HTML Page.htm to New HTML Page.html. Likewise, go into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VintDev98\Templates\ NewFileItems\ and rename the file New HTML Page.htm to New HTML Page.html. From now on your HTML pages will start life with the longer extension.
