Excel files in Preview Pane

Post by muzan99 »

Hello,

I'm using the Preview Pane and I've noticed that when I try to preview an Excel file, XYplorer opens a pop-up saying "do you want to open or register this file?" instead of proposing a preview of it.
I remember it worked in the past but don't know why it doesn't work anymore.
I know this problem was solved in the forum before but I couldn't find a solution that works with my system.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

This link improved the preview :appl: :

However, XY still opens a dialog box each time I try to preview an Excel file.

From what I understand, it's the same process in Internet Explorer.

Someone wrote a script that prevents from opening this dialog box but it would only work with IE8:

#NoTrayIcon
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","scriptExecIE8","REG_SZ",'"'&@ScriptFullPath&'"')
While 1
WinWaitActive
Send("{LEFT}{LEFT}{ENTER}")
WEnd

Anyone can write this script for IE11?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe because of this?
scriptExecIE8
Did you try it with "scriptExecIE11" (just a shot in the dark)?
