WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows 95. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry.

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and open the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes

2. Under this key, open the appropriate subkey for the appropriate Office document type. Subkeys for common Office document types are listed in the following table.

         Document type                               Subkey
         ----------------------------------------------------------------
   
         Microsoft Access 7.0 database program       Access.Application.7
         Microsoft Access 97 database program        Access.Application.8
         Microsoft Excel 7.0 worksheet               Excel.Sheet.5
         Microsoft Excel 97 worksheet                Excel.Sheet.8
         Microsoft Word 7.0 document                 Word.Document.6
         Microsoft Word 97 document                  Word.Document.8
         Microsoft PowerPoint 7.0 presentation       PowerPoint.Show.7
         Microsoft PowerPoint 97 presentation        PowerPoint.Show.8
   						

   To locate a type not listed in the table, find the subkey for the file name extension that is associated with the document type. The default value contains the name of the subkey for that document type. For example, under the ".xls" subkey, the default value contains the string "Excel.Sheet.5."
3. After you open the correct subkey, click Add Value on the Edit menu and type the following values:

   Value name: BrowserFlags
   Data type: REG_DWORD
   Data: 8

4. Click OK, and then quit Registry Editor.
