Stop open file through Document Property
 

Hi,

I'm sorry. I already did this question on Windows, Office and VB NGs without
success. Maybe you can help me here.

When you double click on a file with *.DOC (or *.XLS) extension, it is open
on the Word (or Excel) by Windows Explore. If you rename the extension *.DOC
(or *.XLS), for example to *.DO_ (or *.XL_), Explorer continue opening the
file on Word (or Excel). Maybe it verifies document property and identifies
the file as Word or Excel document. Is it possible to stop this behavior? I
want Explorer open only *.DOC, *.DOT and *.RTF files extensions on Word.

I'm using Office XP on Win98.

TIA

Because I'm used to hide some doc from Word file open dialog box only
renaming the extension. And it would be interesting if someone double click
that rename extension files don't open on Word too.
