If you save a Notepad file as an htm file, and you've given the file itself the standard html stuff I mentioned and added your text, then you can do a couple of things. You can go to the START button in the bottom left and when that menu pops up click "Run" and a line appears asking what you want to open. Navigate to the htm file and it will open it with whatever is your default browser.

You can also open your IE (or whatever browser) and go to the File drop down menu at the top and from there go to OPEN and again, select the file you want to view.
