When I edit html files from my computer, they keep opening in the same browser that I have opened. How do I fix it so that html files will open in their own windows?

Use something like this:

<a href="http://www.example.com/" target="_blank">Link text goes here.</a>

It's the target="_blank" that forced the browser to open in a new window.

Here is a method to open the new window with JavaScript - with some interesting error checkers and options

If you want to open a window with a certain size and position, and control whether it has toolbars etc the window.open method is explained here

after rereading the OP these methods are probably more advanced than what you need for editing, but might help someone who reads this thread because of the title...
