I deleted those comments because they were flagged, and it seemed to me they were not heading in a constructive direction. It was not only your comments deleted, though.
This isn't really about 'censorship', though; It's all about keeping the signal:noise ratio high.

Ok, I installed XAMPP and changed things accordingly. The only problem I see now is that I have to use a local web server to look at my web pages. I have to have apache running on the PC and then in the browser I have to do localhost/index.htm for things to load OK. If however I just double click on an index.htm file as I used to do before, then it will fail, since it is trying to load scripts from "/scripts" now, which only works when pages are served by webserver. This is really annoying. This means I can't just look at my web pages on the PC without having a webserver server running first. - Steve H
I am afraid this solution does not work for me. I need a solution that I can use without having to run a local web server. Using a local web server is nice for testing. And I will keep it. But I want to also be able to access my pages and navigate them using a browser on the PC without having a web server running. Using "/scripts/...." solution only works when pages are served by web server. I tried moving the tree to "c:/" but it still did not work. Windows does not think "/" is same as "c:/". I need a solution that works on PC without having to have a web server installed as prerequisite. - Steve H
@SteveH What's wrong with a web server? - Joseph the Dreamer
The problem is simple. I want to be able to go to the beach and browse my pages locally on my old laptop, and I do not want to install apache just to look at my pages, many times, I make an index.htm for local use on the PC only, and so I do not need to install and start apache each time. The problem with this solution is additional prerequisites needed to view a simple web page on a pc before uploading it to the server. The use of a web server just to browse local pages on a PC is a problem. There should be a way to do this without all this complicated setup... - Steve H
and many times I double click on an index.htm file anywhere in my tree directly from the file explorer to bring up a firefox to view it. I can't do this any more with this set, since I have to go though web server each time and navigate to the file, which means I have to do localhost/../../../index.htm instead of simply clicking on an html file directly. (also have to start apache each time if it is not running) - Steve H
