How to prevent WebStorm IDE from opening '.html' files in a web browser on double-clicking it?

I am trying to name a HTML file as index.html in the WebStorm IDE. However, I am unable to open this file to edit it if I name it index - it directly opens in the browser.

I can open other .html files in WebStorm for editing if they are named something other than index.html.

If I go to Refactor > Rename and change the name of index.html file to something else, I am again not able to edit it.

It seems like there must be a setting for this somewhere but I cannot figure out what or where.

Most likely you have told IDE to open it like that in the past (on purpose or by mistake) .. so it keeps doing it.

  1. Settings/Preferences | Editor | File Types

  2. Find Files Opened in Associated Application entry in top list

  3. Find and remove offending entry from bottom list (most likely will be index.html or similar)
