Actually, this should be a fairly simple fix even though .shtml is not
one of the filetypes listed in Opera's Preferences. In The Bat!,
right-click one of the .shtml icons and save it to your desktop (do
not change the file extension!). Minimize the bat, then hold down
shift and right-click the saved .shtml file on your desktop. An option
to "Open with..." will be on the menu that appears. Click on "Open
with...". Scroll through the list of programs that appears until you
find "Opera" listed. Select "Opera", then check the box beside "Always
use this program to open this type of file". Then click "OK". That's
it! Opera should now be associated with .shtml files (you will
probably have to close and re-open TB! before it will recognize the
change, or you may even have to reboot your computer (I didn't, but
this may be necessary in some cases)).
Hope this helps...
