I believe that .html is from the *nix world, whereas the .htm is an MS 
issue as DOS would only accept 8.3 filename conventions. I believe that 
most systems will accept either name.

Hi,

There is no difference. Html and Htm as file extensions will save a 
page as an HTML file. Just as .txt as a file extension will save a page 
as a text file. I believe some older browsers took and still take .htm, 
but as far as how they are saved there is no difference.
