I tried both methods Windows 7 RC7100 64 bit to associate HTM and HTML file types with JUST the 32 bit (x86) IEXPLORE.EXE. My be some fancy foot work behind the scenes on MS's part. At any rate DQSD still launched the 64 bit IEXPLORE even when Windows presented the "IEXPLORE is not your default web browser, etc, etc" message.
2nd method. I created a file type ".32bitie", created a file association and added the attached registry entries. Made the changes to "localprefs.js". Starting DQSD generated script errors (Object is NULL etc) and the page starts with the "Activex/Script blocked for security reasons, do you want to allow, etc" message. DQSD does start the DQSD.32BITIE pagetemplate file but it STILL runs the 64 but IEXPLORE.EXE. If I simply click on the DQSD.32BITIE file it opens with the 32 bit IEXPLORE.EXE, produces the ActiveX/Script warning and once I allow the script it does open the blank search template full screen. So still no joy. See my other email on updated installation tricks. -----Original Message----- From: Shawn K.

It's the "pagetemplate" parameter: pagetemplate="maximized.htm"; If the user has the file association for that extension set to the 32bit version, it should load that. Also, if they do not WANT to associate that extension, they could use another custom extension and create that association. This for localprefs.js: pagetemplate="dqsd.32bitie"; And this registry change: '// ======================================================== REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.32bitie] "PerceivedType"="text" @="html32file" "Content Type"="text/html" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\html32file] @="HTML32 Document" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\html32file\DefaultIcon] @="C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer (86)\\IEXPLORE.EXE,-17" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\html32file\shell] @="opennew" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\html32file\shell\open] @="Open in S&ame Window" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\html32file\shell\open\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer (86)\\IEXPLORE.EXE\" -nohome \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\html32file\shell\opennew] @="&Open" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\html32file\shell\opennew\command] @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer (86)\\IEXPLORE.EXE\" \"%1\"" '// ======================================================== I don't have a 64bit OS at my disposal at the moment to actually test it, but if someone is up to it, let me know how it works out. > There's also the problem with IE's security features; depending on > where from a page is launched, it may get the lockdown restrictions, > and the browser will run in a cramped mode. Yep. I wonder if the "-embedding" switch would assist in this? -Shawn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe visit: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users DQSD-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
