original title: ie8

IE8 is save my internet shortcuts on my desktop as a word document?

Hello

When you double-click on them, this open Word or IE? If opens in IE, then you simply have an incorrect default icon. If Word opens, then you must change the file association for .url.

    Firefox is configured as the default browser, but if I click on a link in MS Word, the link opens with MS Internet Explore. Why?

    I have the same problem, but the difference is in the opening of the MS WORD hyperlinks to download documents (for example http://ntv.spbstu.ru/2011/hss_2011_3.pdf#page=145 ). This link wants to call MS IE.
    At the same time, all the HTML links are opened in FireFox.

  • Internet Explorer 9 is having conflicts with Office 2007. When IE 9 is open, I can't copy or paste in Word and Excel.

    Internet Explorer 9 is having conflicts with Office 2007. When IE 9 is open, I can't copy or paste in Excel, Word, PPT correctly. The format does not.  I can not format painter at all. It is a recent behavior, since he did not like that 3 weeks ago.

    If I close IE 9, Office programs work perfect.  So everything indicates that a compatibility issue with Office 2007 is present when Internet Explorer is opened.

    I can't associate the recent behavior with any recent download that could create conflict, but perhaps he started after an automatic update of Windows.

  • I can not get internet explore and Microsoft word to stop the launch at startup.

    I looked at through these programs and autorun boot are not listed.  I checked the configuration and that they are not and I checked AVG and they do not appear as startup items.  They are not in my Start menu.  How can I get these programs STOP opening on startup?  I don't even use internet Explorer - I simply downloaded it once and now it keeps opening.  I used Word once of many weeks ago, and now it opens each time.  How can I stop this from happening?

    Hello Sarah133,

    In addition to the information that Amara has provided, please look at the suggestions below.

    You can check the boot in a few places by using MSCONFIG.
    ·       Click Start on your desktop
    ·       Type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
    ·       Go to the Startup tab. There are options to enable all or disable all or you can uncheck a particular program.
    Check if WinWord is set to run at startup, if so, then uncheck the box.
    Now, restart the computer and see if the word appears at the start of your computer.

    You can also check the registry to see if it is set to run at startup.
    Go to the Start button.
    In the start search, type Regedit.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. Please make a backup of ther registry before making any changes. Or you can create a system restore point.

    Now, you place the following keys.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

    Hkey_current_user\\software\\microsoft\\windows\\currentversion\\run
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Runonce

    If the word is in the list, then delete this registry entry only.

    If please reply back and let us know if this helps with your question.

    Thank you

  • Internet Explorer has stopped to show the pictures to the Word files... fix?

    Internet Explorer will not show the pictures to Word files.  Instead, it shows just the large icons.

    It shows the actual thumbnails for .pdf files and image files.  Previously, he showed thumbnails for Word files.  Display thumbnails of .pdf files, it stopped, but which was fixed when I found a program that does a registry change for this problem.

    I have Win7 64 bit, & Word 2010 (32-bit)

    I see many people having this problem about the image files and .pdf files, but not Word files.  (.doc .docx .rtf .txt).  (Interestingly, the .txt is mapped to open it with Notepad.  "I get another icon of stock for .txt files - but still no photos).

    Help?
