Vista browsing in same window option missing

Hi
I want to open Word 2003 documents from our intranet in Word but they keep opening in IE 7
does anyone know where the browse in same window option is in Vista that used to be in XP under File Types tab then Advanced button.
The only similar option i can find is under the Associate File Type options in the control panel. When i go into the .doc options it has IE and Word as Recommended Programs and the check box down the bottom is greyed out. So i can't untick it to remove IE as an application to open Word files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Open the Registry Editor by typing 'regedit' in the Start Search box.
In the registry, navigate to:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.8]
In the right-hand pane, create a new REG_DWORD value named 'BrowserFlags' and give it a value of '8'
Good Luck,
Keith

domingo, 15 de noviembre de 2009 16:47Hello,
I need to do the opposite.
I have a .NET application in which I have a webbrowser control and when I load an office document in it, I want it to be opened inside the control and not create a new window.
In windows XP i tick the "browse in same window" option for the file association type and it works. In windows vista it always opens a new window.
How do I change it?

For future reference, there are several Word.Document.n keys in the registry now. Try adding (DWORD)BrowserFlags=8 as a value to the one without a number on the end i.e. Word.Document
It did it for me on Windows 7, Office 2007.
