Hi All,
We have been troubleshooting a fix to re-associate .xml files with Word 2010 instead of dreamweaver on our domain machines (500+) The fix that was pushed out involved creating a Computer Configuration, Control Panel Settings, Folder Options, New File Type for XML as per the picture below:
Under testing this worked fine, however we have now realized that whenever any XML files are now opened in word via explorer, word simply opens a blank document as if it is not being passed the file path to be opened.
We have tried removing the policy but the changes persist. We are going to test re-installing office, but on 500+ machines this is not really feasible. Machines that did not have this gpo applied will open xml files fine with right click open with word.
Any suggestions on how we can fix this?
Thanks
