I think the reason Maxthon doesn't work might be that it doesn't associate itself with html files on the local disk (check with Start -> Run). I'll see if I can put a file:// in front of the command line or something and see if that works 
Actually, Maxthon does associate istelf with html files, it just doesn't do a very good job. It creates a new action called Maxthon, and sets it as the default. It also changes the command for open to Maxthon, but does not change any of the DDE settings. If the DDE application is set to IExplore (as it probably will be for most ppl), then the open command will run IE. If it is set to anything else, then the open command will run Maxthon (This may be the case if you have switched from a non-IE browser to Maxthon).
As explorer uses the default action, it Maxthon will open when you double click on html files. Anything that uses the open action (as I presume SPNG does) will open IE on most Maxthon systems.
You could change SPNG to use the default action instead of open, as that is what most ppl would consider the default browser to be. I will contact the author of Maxthon about its behaviour. BTW, did you see my post about adding the mark of the web to the generated page?
