We have Windows XP/2000 users accessing files like
Word, Excel, etc. on an intranet using IE. Sometimes these files open in the browser window, and other times the associated application is launched.
I know that this can be set from Windows Explorer (or My Computer) by selecting Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Then selecting the desired file type (e.g.,
DOC or XLS), clicking on the "Advanced" button, and checking or unchecking "Browse in same window."
However, some of our users are on "locked down" Citrix desktops and are not able to access these settings.
Is there another way to change the way IE launches files?
