Hi all,


I've search online for many means other than to editing the registry but is here any way to allows data to be download and opened in Excel 2010 instead of the internet explorer.

I could do it in Excel 2003 but not 2010 and I can't and are quite unwilling to edit the registry as it is a workplace laptop..


Appreciate~
 
Good day moody


I have not used IE for some years now and you do not get this problem with Firefox, so I brushed the cobwebs of IE and downloaded a workbook from the Chandoo site, IE asks whether you want to open or save, chose open and Excel fired up with the Chandoo work book.

Have you tried going to the folder where you keep your Excel files and right click on one, choose the “Open With” option and from there choose Excel as the default program to open these files.

It sounds like you are downloading from Microsoft Live or Skydrive ?


Try to Right click on the file and Save As rather than Open
 
hi bobhc and HUI

the problem is our workplace defualt browser is an IE.The situation is that we could download data from the IE and there is no "Save as" , only "open"..And file format is supposed to be *.csv on excel workbook.Instead it straight away shows all the data in the Explorer page.

In Excel 2003 , all i need to do is to to to windows explorer , folder options and advanced setting to check or uncheck one of the options and it is solved.
