Thanks for replying Gary -
However, I was under the impression that the PersistentHandler supported the search/indexing of a file type... I've already got a PersistentHandler under x.ls (CLSID {98DE59A0-D175-11CD-A7BD-00006B827D94} - just the same as yours as it happens!) As it is, the answer would seem to apply to a different question  -- Julian I-Do-Stuff Some Vista stuff, but mostly just Stuff at http://berossus,blogspot.com "Gary Mount" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:B1CF132A-F195-472C-8CE6-(E-Mail Removed)... > Add this key > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls\PersistentHandler > and add a REG_SZ with the same value as you find in the > Microsoft Excel Chart key. > In my case with Office 2000 the value is > {98de59a0-d175-11cd-a7bd-00006b827d94} > but yours will be different. > > I exported my entire key to a text file as an example, as follows. > > Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 > > [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls] > "Content Type"="application/vnd.ms-excel" > @="Excel.Sheet.8" > > [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls\Excel.Sheet.8] > @="" > > [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls\Excel.Sheet.8\ShellNew] > "FileName"="excel9.xls" > > [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xls\PersistentHandler] > @="{98de59a0-d175-11cd-a7bd-00006b827d94}" > > But as I said, this is Office 2000. > > > > "Julian" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message > news:(E-Mail Removed)... >> Almost trivial but annoying!

That was marked for Send Later!
Nevermind, I was going to add that having just amended the (default) value immediately under Excel.Sheet.8 to "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" it had no effect... (after logoff/logon and restart) What am I missing? -- Julian I-Do-Stuff Some Vista stuff, but mostly just Stuff at http://berossus,blogspot.com "Julian" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... > Thanks for replying Gary - > > However, I was under the impression that the PersistentHandler supported > the search/indexing of a file type...

Well, I fixed it - but not through the registry... I just re-associated .xls
with Excel, even though it was already apparently associated! (Clicked "browse" in the "open with" dialog, kept the "always use this..." check box checked, navigated to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10 and selected Excel.exe ....must look to see what changed in the registry later... would be rather informative! -- Julian I-Do-Stuff Some Vista stuff, but mostly just Stuff at http://berossus,blogspot.com "Julian" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... > That was marked for Send Later! > > Nevermind, I was going to add that having just amended the (default) value > immediately under Excel.Sheet.8 to "Microsoft Excel Worksheet" it had no > effect...
