[Vista] Disable Web Open

[XPero]

I know with XP, but it seems that the same trick doesnt work with Vista

Thanks in advance

So adding InternetOpenWith, with a dword of 0, at this key doesn't work?

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

If that doesn't work, i know the code responsible for that is in shell32.dll. You could search shell32.dll for internetopenwith, or edit it with resource hacker, the setting should be a part of a an inf file embedded.

Finally, mystery solved. No, the XP registry does not work any more. For some reason, MS made a change to this by placing it in the policies:

Disable Webservices for unknown file types

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Disable Webservices for unknown file types
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoInternetOpenWith"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoInternetOpenWith"=dword:00000001
