Does anyone know if there is a script available that can define which software opens up a link? I.e. I have a powerpoint template file (.pot) which I am linking to. I would like for the link to open in Powerpoint and not explorer - can I do that? IE 6 browser. My development team says that I can't but am am 99% sure I can. Cheers Jeske :confused:

No, that's a browser/desktop configuration issue and happens at a global level.

Well yeh it can kinda be done, google for MIME types. There isn't any way it can be done for native file formats like that though.

p.s. Dont use IE!
