File editing opens wrong application

Normally I right click on my HTML files and select EDIT to bring them up in Notepad,
but I recently made one page so large that it became too big for Notepad to handle,
so it asked me if I wanted to open it in Word instead, which I did. As a result
of this, whenever I want to edit any HTML file, it opens Word instead of Notepad,
which is EXTREMELY ANNOYING, due to Word's excessive memory-hogging attributes.
I know I've got to somehow edit it in the registry but I wouldn't even know where
to start. The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT has a list of all the file types, but I don't see
anything wrong. The OpenWithList is even still set for Notepad. Is there somewhere
else I have to go to tell my computer that I want all HTML files opened by Notepad
instead of Word?
