Can someone point me to where I could find the GPO setting, ie setting or registry setting to set how IE reacts when I click on a hyperlink to a xls file (or links to an app that generates an a file). Problem is I have a file that people click on and they want to be prompted. Not getting it. Does prompt on another set of servers. I have no idea why on one and not on the other. I have been told you can change the setting on the file association but that seems a little odd that I would have to do that for 50 different file types when I did not have to do it on the servers that it is working. SO I suspect there is a gpo set that controls this but I have not found it yet. thanks Doug Stratton Technology Engineering Services, ISM Canada Together with Shared Services BC Telephone: 250-704-1861 Fax: 250-704-1889 E-mail: <mailto:stratton@xxxxxxxxxx <BLOCKED::mailto:stratton@xxxxxxxxxx> >
