Hi People,

I trying to perform office files downloads e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc, using an ASP routine. However when the user clicks the file it opens into the browser in fullscreen and there is no possibility to save it only to see it. I was asking about and they told me there is some configuration in the IIS. I'm using IIS 4 Backoffice Server 4.5 SP 6. I looked at it but I couldn't find where to perform such config.

Change these reg values to enable it to open in the application.

HKLM\Software\Classes\Excel.Sheet.8\browserflags

Change the value to 8.

Repeat this for:

Word.Document.8
PowerPoint.Show.8
Excel.Chart.8

hope this helps.
This will open all the pages in the respected application and not in the browser.
