Okay... I've gone ahead and pulled the entries IE uses in the registry to open html files in the same window via the context menu:

Code:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open]
@="Open in S&ame Window"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec]
@="\"file://%1\",,-1,,,,,"
"NoActivateHandler"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec\Application]
@="IExplore"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec\Topic]
@="WWW_OpenURL"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\PROGRA~1\\INTERN~1\\iexplore.exe\" -nohome"

Somehow I'm getting the hint I need to use DDexec commands [I have no idea what those are]?

Anyone?
