Hi Hector,
It sounds more like a security issue, or a setting in IE that's blocking the
opening of hyperlinks. Try resetting all your IE settings.
However, file hyperlinks are opened by the htmlfile association. More
specifically, check the following...
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\ddeexec
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\opennew\ddeexec
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Jeremy.

Did you do a reboot after installing the compatibility pack? Was it run in
change usr /install mode?

The comp pack did not fix it.
On to trying the association commands .....
Do you think maybe re-installing Office 2003 might work?

And one more thought, if you haven't installed it yet the Office 2007
compatibility pack would fix the extensions.

Replying to my own post but check out this post by Rick Mack back in February
on checking and fixing file associations....
Hi Angela,
There are 2 system commands that let you list and change server file
associations. These are:
assoc- associate file extension with file type
Example: C:\assoc .mdi
.mdi=mdi_auto_file
ftype- associate a file type to an executable
Example: C:\ftype mdi_auto_file
mdi_auto_file=C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office12\OIS.EXE /shellOpen
"%1"
In this example I've got Office 2007 installed.
So if you wanted to fix the mdi file association, you'd run:
assoc .mdi=mdi_auto_file
ftype mdi_auto_file=C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office12\OIS.EXE /shellOpen "%1"
The last command could also be:
ftype mdi_auto_file="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\OIS.EXE"
/shellOpen "%1"
Doing this on a whole farm isn't too hard if you download the PSTools utilities
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896649.aspx
Copy psexec.exe to c:\windows and try something like this (it's one line):
For /f "skip=3" %i in ('qfarm /load') do psexec \\%i<file:///\\%25i>
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c assoc .mdi=mdi_auto_file & psexec
\\%i<file:///\\%25i> c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ftype
mdi_auto_file=C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office12\OIS.EXE /shellOpen "%1"
qfarm /load generates a list of on-line servers in your farm. If we read this
list in a FOR look that skips the first 3 lines which are a title, header etc
then we have the names of all the online servers in your farm.
psexec \\servernamecommand<file:///\\servernamecommand> will execute the
command on the remote server. An & allows us to run two commands using the same
variables on the same command line. If you want to turn this command into a
batch file, remember to replace all the %i with %%i, but don't replace the %1
with a %%1.
regards,
Rick

Hi
I have deployed Office 2003 SP3 to our dev environment expecting it to break
certain file associations based on article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938813. I can re-associate TIF by manually
launching MS Office document Imaging on each Citrix Server and reassociating
the extension via Tools/Options. However it doesn't fix the MDI associations.
Is there an easy way to re-associate MDI to MS Office document Imaging for all
users? A script that sets both would be great if one exists...
Thanks in advance

There is a lot that could be happening here. Are you mapping home drives? Have
you turned on Content redirection? The issue you are having seems to be with
the "File Type Associations" and that is the term you probably should be
searching on. Search the archives of the Thin list and there is stuff out there.

I really don't get an error, IE 8 just opens and it goes to the home page
instead of opening the Excel or Word files.
This happens when using hyperlinks to Office, pdf, etc files.
Attachments open fine. This issue is really driving me crazy! I wish I could
deploy Firefox or Chrome to these servers.
I'll try your link, though.
Thanks,
Hector.

Hi all,
After deploying IE 8 to my Win2k3 PS 4.5 servers, http links to Excel, Word,
etc. don't open from emails (Outlook 2003).
When users click on the http link, IE 8 opens the home page, that's it!
It seems that the associations from IE have broke. I found an article by
Microsoft, but it does not fix the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/162059
Anyone seen this?
