Assuming you're on Apache...  Usually that would be the default, but you 
can override that with a line in an .htaccess file to use another 
extension.  For example:
AddHandler server-parsed .html

Would set .html files to be treated the same way that .shtml files 
usually are.  I personally use php for most things, so I often have 
.html files processed by php, but perhaps that's not where you want to go.
cf re .htaccess:

HTH!
