    I'd probably say get yourself WAMP / MAMP / XAMPP (a web server)

    Or else you're probably going to end up with path issues when you're linking to images you may need to put in file://c|.... to see the images

    WAMP (windows apache mysql php) takes about 2 minutes to have setup and running :) and basically turns your machine into a webserver

    you then go to http://localhost and away you go

    Honestly I'd say set it up anyways ... (may sound scary) actually its great and allows you to set up wordpress / joomla / cmsms / and so on locally having a database and everything .. allows you to make full use of .htaccess / mod rewrite ... and so on ... great to play with if you're still at the beginning stage

    You'll just put files into the webfolder ...instead of where you're putting them now

    Personally, I don't think setting up a personal web server is a good idea if you're just learning HTML. It's quite intimidating and requires a good bit of general knowledge that people don't have at that stage.

    Yeah there's no point when just using XHTML/CSS, but when you start with PHP/MySQL, etc. :D
