Windows Explorer managing htm/html files

Hi,
I would like to know how Windows explorer manages htm/html files and
the supporting folders of those files. While copying a htm/html file from a
location, Windows automatically copies the supporting files folder also
along with the htm file. How is the association made by the windows for the
file and the supporting folder? I would like to perform a similar
functionality programmatically. Can anybody suggest how to do the same?

Thanks,
Abhishek.

What you're referring to is called a thicket. Ask them in the inetexplorer,
inetsdk and or inetserver groups for more details.

Windows is essentially just parsing the HTML file to see what
else it needs.

Notice also that it only moves/copies those additional files that
have paths that are expressed relative to the path of the HTML
file: it leaves alone files that have fully specified paths.
