dired-x.el (part of GNU Emacs) has a feature to "guess" the right shell
command, maybe that helps. From my ~/.emacs

(eval-after-load 'dired
'(progn
(require 'dired-x)
(setq dired-guess-shell-alist-user '(("\\.avi" "mplayer ? &")
("\\.mpg" "mplayer ? &")
("\\.wmv" "mplayer ? &")))))

But for simple .html i'd suggest emacs-w3m, a very nice browser.
