Associating a file with an Editor

Hi Folks

I' using VS 2005.
When I open an XML file, I would always like to OPEN it in "HTML
Editor", but currently it does not (not sure what editor it open in).
My questions are

1. How do I identify what editor is used to open the XML file
2. Curently I right click on the file and select "Open With" option,
then I select "HTML Editor"
Can this be set as default?.

Thanks
PP

Try these DOS commands:

assoc .xml
and
ftype
Try assoc /? or ftype /? for help

Yes, it can be set as default. When you are in the "Open with" window,
select the HTML Editor, then click "Set as Default" button.
