Excel files opin in IE8 instead of Excel 2007
Here is the setup:
Clean install of Windows 7 Office 2007 IE8 Every time I click on an excel document in Sharepoint, or any hyperlink which points to an Excel file, it opens in IE8 instead of Excel. I have confirmed that the file extension defaults for the .xls and .xlsx point to Excel, not IE8. I have also looked in the registry and there are no "BrowserFlags" reg keys under the HLM/Classes branch. I even tried adding the "9" reg-dword "BrowserFlags" to the "Excel.Sheet.8" registry sub-key but it had no effect (this was from an older KB article which did not specify Win7 or IE8. I am confused as the default behavior should be for office documents to open in their native app, not IE. Any ideas? |

Excel files opin in IE8 instead of Excel 2007
OK, I think I have narrowed it down to an add-on. If I boot with the "no
add-ons" version of IE8 it will open excel files in Excel instead of IE8. However, I have tried disabling all add-ons in the regular explorer browser and none seem to allow Excel to open the file. Conversly I have opened the "no add-ins" IE and tried to enable all the disabled add-ins and the excel file continues to open in Excel. I am having no luck at pinpointing the offending add-in. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
