Here you get the responses at your answers:
"<x-tad-bigger>We all know what a .HTM file. But what about a .HTA file? The two are closely related, yet very different. Let me explain.
The letters HTA are meant to stand for HTML Application. The technology was developed by Microsoft, so is a proprietary concept, and only works in conjunction with Internet Explorer (specifically version 5 and above). "</x-tad-bigger>

I'm new to this list, and sorta new to security on a computer. But can
someone tell me what program runs a .hta file??

Well.. there's two questions here:

1) What program is *supposed* to interpret .hta files?

2) What program(s) can be induced to try to do so?

and the implied third question:

3) What leverage can you get from the difference between 1 and 2?
