Forcing IE to open Excel Workbooks in a New Instance

Posted by Paishe on August 15, 2000 at 13:4:23:

Hi,
I am trying to force IE to open a new Excel instance and display the Excel workbook in that instance. By default, IE will open the workbook within the browser thus making ineffective many features of Excel like Command Buttons, Pivot Tables etc.
In Windows 95 and 98, a simple file setting change forced IE to do exactly this. However, in NT one has to change the registry setting on the client side.
I want to avoid changing registry settings on each user's desktop (the sheer number would be debilitating).
Is there a way to do this in an NT environment, where the downloaded workbook opens in a seperate instance of Excel?
