Local files and MS Edge

You can associate html files with Edge so double clicking them will open them in Edge.

But I have no idea how to launch Edge, then browse and open a file. (File, Open - doesn't seem available).

- and guess what- I don't use Edge...

And you should be able to rt click the file, Open with, and then open it in Edge.

You can use local file syntax in the address entry box in Edge, with a format like this
file:///C:/directory/filename.html
It uses the predefined protocol type "file:" with special syntax (three forward slashes before the drive letter) to then navigate into local file systems and structures. Here's an example:

Note that the URL shows here as: file:///C:/Users/etitt/documents/02fig01.html (It's Figure 1 from Chapter 2 of a recent edition of my book Programming HTML5 and CSS3 For Dummies, in fact).

One more thing: you can also navigate to an HTML or other markup (CSS, XML, and so forth) file in File Explorer, right-click the file, select the "Open with..." entry from the pop-up menu, and then pick Edge as the program with which to open the chosen file.

Thank you Dalchina and Ed.
I just accidentally noticed that if you click start>file explorer you get a much longer list of "recently used".
Who said this old geezer cannot stumble onto success once in a while?

Also: duplicate the note and delete the duplicate.
