How to install HTMLclean (instructions for Windows XP)
- Dowload the program
HTMLclean.exe
at the bottom of this page and save it on your computer. It will probably save to your desktop. I strongly recommend cutting and pasting it into your c:\program files
folder.
- Run Windows Explorer (not internet explorer). The quickest way to run it is to hold down the [window] key at the front left of most keyboards and press the [E] key.
- On the tools menu, chose [folder options...] and then the [file types] tab
- Press the [New] button and type
drt
in the box and press [OK] to register the file type
- Now that you have the file type registered, press the [Change...] button, choose Select the program from a list and press [OK]
- Make sure
Always use the selected program
is checked, and press [Browse]
- If you have put HTMLclean.exe in
c:\program files
, you will see it right away. Click on it and press [Open]
- Press [OK] and [Close] and you are done!
How to use HTMLclean
- If you are using Word, save the file as a web page. (Use filtered HTML if you have that option)
- rename the file extension (last three letters) from
.htm
to .drt
- double-click the file and a cleaned-up version will appear with an
.htm
extension!
but I cant see any file extension...
- By default, Windows hides the last three letters because it assumes users are too stupid to know what they mean
- You can make them visible by running Windows Explorer (as above) and go to:
- [tools], [Folder options...], [View] tab
- uncheck
[] Hide extensions for known file types
and press [OK]
- The file extensions will now be visible
but I need a less aggressive cleaner (dust not dirt)
