Set default browser for Adobe help files
Authored by: BillC on Apr 21, '03 11:48:34AM

Of course, if you want local .html files to open in, say, BBEdit
by default but you still want the Adobe help files to open in a
browser, then this hint won't work for you. Stripping the
resource fork ends up being a necessity.

Set default browser for Adobe help files
Authored by: rarpsl on Apr 21, '03 03:08:00PM

If you want to make a specific set of html files (such as the Adobe
Help files) open in a designated browser (independent of what
your default browser is set to), you can select all these files in lieu
of doing the "set all" as mentioned in this tip. This will alter ONLY
those files without affecting any other HTML files. This means that
any file with a "Use This Program" entry will still use that program
as opposed to your new selection unless it was part of the group
you just selected (just selecting one file and saying alter all files
will alter all HTML files).
