Since HTML is interpreted by the browser, you can view or make changes to your html file without any server but the page may not link correctly since it is using document path. The best way to still access your webpage locally and you would have it on a server is install a WAMP ( Windows Apache MySQL PHPMyAdmin) server if using windows for you to access your html as localhost or 127.0.0.1 address. There are servers like XAAMP, UniServer, WAMP Server etc. that can help ypu achieve this (use google to know more on these servers) so you can use your browser (Firefox, Crome, etc) to view your html files locally like it was hosted

..... you what now..either open them there. or maybe associate htm files with either of those programs instead. either option will work. Google will tell you how to do this.
