windows associates .html files with notepad
(not by default, that would be IE so I assume you overrode it)

Right click -> Open with -> Choose Program... -> Select your browser, and tick "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." Click OK.

In most cases the system is seeing the file as 'file.html.txt'.
To fix that you can turn on showing the file extensions for known file types so you can change them via renaming. To do that follow these steps:
1. Open 'My Computer'
2. At the top menu, goto Tools -> Folder Options
3. At the top of the window that opens, click the view tab.
4. In the box, scroll down till you find 'Hide extensions for known file types'
5. Uncheck the box next to this then click apply or ok and close that box and My Computer. You should see the extensions of the file types now and should be able to easily edit them via renaming.

By the sounds of it. It looks like your saving it as a .txt, and then renaming it to whatever.html, but what it actually is, is a text file still. You have to save it initially as whatever.html.
