| | Where are settings for "Confirm after download" & "in same window" What control panel applet or other application dialog can modify these settings? Registry modifications seem to work, but we wish to include clearly documented instructions in our manual. For XP we used screen captures of the Folder Options applet, but these cannot be found in Vista. We maintain a web application in which Word documents and Excel sheets can be returned to the user. Both type of Office documents should open in their associated application window. The scenario we use is to open a pop-up window that receives either a content type "application/msword" or "application/vnd.ms-excel". The instructions for the administrators include the steps to be performed to acquire the systems's functionality, as described above. (Control Panel -> Folder Options -> DOC or XLS -> Advanced -> clear check boxes. See also attached picture). During a conformance test we tested this behaviour on several systems with most of the possible combinations of Operating System (XP sp2 or Vista), Office (2000, 2003 or 2007) and Internet Explorer (IE6 or IE7). All systems behave as reuired, except for both Vista systems (IE7 and Office 2003 or 2007) where we cannot find where to modify the afformentioned settings. Some sources suggest that the settings modify two values in the registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8] @="Microsoft Word Document" "EditFlags"=dword:00010000 "BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008 These settings where confirmed using the registry monitor, but on Vista those changes did not bring the expected result. Using the registry monitor on Vista while changing the checkbox on the "Always ask before opening this type of file" dialog that appeares when requesting unknown file types in Internet Explorer. This revealed that another registry setting was modified: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\AttachmentExecute\{0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} This is also mentioned in the knowledge base article: 905703. After adding keys for Word.Document.8 and Excel.Sheet.8 all works as required. |
