Yes, there used to be a UI to add helper apps but it disappeared in SM 2.0 :( > How can I add those file types? You have to download that file type. So. from a cmd prompt, do something like C:\Temp\t>echo "<html><body><a href="file.xls">Load XLS file</a></body></html>" > load-xls.htm copy or create file.xls in the same directory, open load-xls.htm with SM and click on the link I get a pop-up with the options to 'Open with' and 'Save File', but the 'Do this automatically..' is greyed out :( ** is this mailing list/ newsgroup archived somewhere? I can find my june 2010 "how to automatically save files?" q&a to the list in my sent mail but can't find it with a search engine :( summary: My 2010 fix, on a windows vista machine, for not being able to select 'do this automatically...' for .pptx files was adding this bit to the registry ============ cut here ================== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pptx] "Content Type"="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation] "Extension"=".pptx" ============ cut here ================== It's probably the same now.. you just have to figure out the proper "Content Type" for xls and doc files..
