1. Open XYplorer.ini
2. Look up key: OfficePreviewCustomExtensions
3. Add XPS like this (both dots!): OfficePreviewCustomExtensions=.xps.
4. Save XYplorer.ini
5. If XY is currently open, do Restart without saving (in menu File); else just start XY.
Now, you can try to preview an XPS file. If IE can view it, XY can view it, too.
Thank you Donald!
Can anyone under XP give it a try and confirm if previewing xps files works fine? I can view XPF files in the XPS viewer but I can't get them to open in IE. The nice surprise... I will try on a different machine, but maybe not before next week.

So, did it work?

I can not test it myself. I got a problem with IE not displaying XPS file. If someone with a working configuration can give it a try and confirm. Thanks!

Hi,
I tested it and it did work for me to preview XPS files.
My system is Win XP Pro SP3 with IE7.

Good, thanks! Then I will add it to the list of supported extensions.
