How do I open html document from desktop in url?

I have a document with html code typed out on it. I saved it to my desktop and I am trying to open it as a web page from the URL. When I go to open the document, it doesn't convert to what it should be, it still prints out the html. How do I get it to convert when I open it from the URL?How do I open html document from desktop in url?
(Assuming you're on a PC) - right-click on the file, then choose Open With, then choose your browser (internet explorer, firefox, etc.)



Make sure the file ends in .htm or .htmlHow do I open html document from desktop in url?
Go to your browser.



File -%26gt; Open.



Then select your file.



Make sure it's a .html file, not just a .txt file.
C:\Documents and Settings\%26lt;your username%26gt;\Desktop

This is the URL to your desktop in the machine. Simply add the folder/filename onto that with a backslash.



Example:

C:\Documents and Settings\Phazonaddict\Desktop\WebPage\in?br>


If it still comes up as html, I'm not quite sure what the problem is, sorry.
