The Windows file system includes a feature to connect web documents and their associated files. If an HTML document is moved or copied all its associated files, including images, JavaScript and style sheets, can also be automatically relocated.

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value called 'NoFileFolderConnection' using the settings below.

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.

Note: To create a group of connected files, the primary document must have an .htm or .html file name extension. Create a subfolder with the same name as the primary document, except instead of a .htm or .html extension, name it with a .files extension. For instance, if the primary document is named MyDoc.htm, naming the subfolder "MyDoc.files" defines the subfolder as the container for the document's connected files. If the primary document is moved or copied, the subfolder and its files are moved or copied as well.

		(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
		NoFileFolderConnection	REG_DWORD	0x00000001 (1)
