Open blocked file types after install of Office SP3
 

Microsoft has a fix for Excel (and other Office programs) after install of Office SP3.

For Excel go to

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...blockExcel.reg

For Word go to

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...nblockWord.reg

For Powerpoint go to

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...PowerPoint.reg

I have a desktop with Office 2007 that was upgraded from Office 2003 SP3. I
edited the Unblock script to for Office 2007 and ran it. The DWORD entries
were created, but the error still occurs.

Looking for an answer to disable this feature.
