| | Files with extension ".doc" should be opened in Microsoft Word Application Hi, Files with extension ".doc" should be opened in Microsoft Word Application Files with extension ".xls" should be opened in Microsoft Excel Application When files are opened using window.open function call in JavaScript, files with .doc and .xls is opened up in IE. To avoid this in XP,2000 client machines,2000 server and 2003 server machines following settings are done. My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->File Types Select doc extension Click advanced button Uncheck browse in same window option Select xls extension Click advanced button Uncheck browse in same window option This enables to open office documents in their native application. There is no such setting in Windows Vista. Is there any similar setting to enable office documents opening in native applications rather than in IE? Thanks in Advance, Venkat |
