Recently I was asked to disable the “Do you want to open this file?” or “Do you want to open or save this file?” prompt in Internet Explorer for all InfoPath Template files (.xsn). Let me tell you it wasn’t easy to workout the solution, even though the actual solution is pretty easy.

Background Information

Girls Just Wanna Not Run: The Gender Gap in Young Americans’ Political Ambition Why do so few women hold positions of political power in the United States? For the last few decades, researchers have provided compelling evidence that when women run for office – regardless of the.

At work our intranet is hosted on in SharePoint 2010 environment. On the intranet our dev guys have developed a number of interactive InfoPath forms that users can use to complete a number of requests such as log an IT Service Desk job, etc. The problem is every time they click the link to access the form, the default behaviour of Internet Explorer is to download the file and then prompt if you want to open it or save it. This is really annoying for clients and pretty much we would like to provide them with a seamless experience when using the intranet service.

Prompt Variations

Depending on the version of Internet Explorer, this prompt can have slight variations such as:

Internet Explorer 8

“Do you want to open this file?”

Internet Explorer 9

I Just Wanna Run Mediafire

“Do you want to open or save this file?”

Internet Explorer 10

“Do you want to open or save this file?”

No matter what the prompt looks like or is saying… it is still annoying if you constantly using an intranet based form? So if possible…. lets disable it.

Isn’t this a security risk?

I realise the reason why Microsoft cause this prompt to appear in Internet Explorer is because it prevents malicious applications, programs, etc from automatically downloading and running on a machine without any user intervention. So therefore, the logical question is… won’t disabling this become significant security risk which outweighs users clicking the Open button?

Well, the good news is we are not actually disabling the prompt from appearing for all downloaded files, we are only going to be disabling the prompt for a certain file type – in my case InfoPath Templates (.xsn) files.

You could argue that this could be introducing a security loophole in which potentially malicious InfoPath files from the internet could be downloaded and executed on a user’s machine without their prior consent. The way I see it, yes this is the case but honestly there isn’t that many InfoPath forms on the internet to begin with (I haven’t ever come across any), nor do they usually carry malicious code. In addition, we have a anti-virus and anti-malware solution actively running and scanning all client computers, so these two points mitigate the risk enough in my opinion for this risk not to be an issue at all. Not only that, the change and its associated risk has been documented and approved via our CAB process.

In your case, you will need to evaluate risk vs reward and determine what is an acceptable level of risk for your environment. This post merely explains how to technically solve the problem and doesn’t necessarily take into consideration the risk associated with that change.

In saying that however, the Internet Explorer 8 (Do you want to open this file?) prompt actually allows users to essentially disable the prompt for that particular file type by un-ticking the “Always ask before opening this type of file” check-box at the bottom of the prompt. IE 9 and 10 have now removed this option and hence strengthened security in a way, even though it is still possible to get around it as per the solution below.

How to disable the “do you want to open or save this file?” prompt

The following solution is for InfoPath Template files. If you want to use another file type you will need to tweak this solution:

  1. Launch Registry Editor (Start >> Run >> regedit.exe)
  2. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows Shell
  4. If it doesn’t exist, create the AttachmentExecute key
  5. Create the {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} key
  6. Create a new Binary Value with the Name InfoPath.Solution.3
  7. Re-launch IE and test – should be now working ok

What version of InfoPath are you running?

You might not thing this is important, but actually it is. Depending on the version of InfoPath (or Office) you are running slightly can change step 6 above:

Office 2010 or InfoPath 2010

I just wanna run download

If you are using Office 2010, then step 6 above is correct. You should be using InfoPath.Solution.3 as the value name

Office 2013 or InfoPath 2013

If you are using Office 2013, then step 6 needs to change. You should be using InfoPath.Solution.4 as the value name. Note the change from 3 to 4. If you do not do this, you will continue to get prompted.

How to deploy this solution to all users?

If you need to deploy this to a number of users then the best bet (and is the way I have done it) is to deploy it using Group Policy Preferences. Not only does this give you a really easy way to deploy HKCU keys but it also allows you to control what users you want to deploy it via either security filtering on the GPO or via Item-Level Targeting on the Group Policy Preference itself.

How to disable the prompt for other file types

If you want to use this solution for another file types other than InfoPath Templates, then I think the easiest way to find the correct registry value you need to create is by simply opening the required file type in Internet Explorer 8 and then un-ticking the “Always ask before opening this type of file” check-box at the bottom of the prompt.

Once you have done this, launch Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows Shell AttachmentExecute {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}. Have a look at what IE has set the registry value name to…. this will be your solution. All you need to do now is deploy to your users via Group Policy or whatever other mechanism and there you have it.

Update 07.06.2014:

Based on a comment from a fellow reader below (jputnam) there is another way to find the correct registry value for a specific application.

You can do this by doing the following:

  1. Launch Registry Editor (Start >> Run >> regedit.exe)
  2. Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
  3. Find the extension of the file you want to automatically open (e.g. .doc)
  4. The data in within the Default registry value is what you require
  5. Follow all other steps as per normal

Thanks to jputnam for the details, very elegant solution!!

Update 17.08.2014:

Benjamin has posted the following alternate solution to find the correct registry value for your application:

  1. Launch Command Prompt (Start >> Run >> cmd.exe)
  2. Type assoc.xxxx (where xxxx is the extension of the application you want to disable prompts for)
  3. Example: If you want to disable XML files then you would type assoc.xml
  4. The output you will receive is something like .xml=xmlfile, and this is what you would put as the registry value

Thanks to Benjamin for providing us with another solution.

Re-enable “Do you want to open or save this file?” prompt

If you want to re-enable this prompt because of a users un-ticking the “Always ask before opening this type of file” check-box, then do the following:

  1. Launch Registry Editor (Start >> Run >> regedit.exe)
  2. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows Shell AttachmentExecute {0002DF01-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
  4. Delete any registry values that exist
  5. Re-launch IE and test – you should now get prompted to open or save for all file types

And that is it guys. We have covered how to disable the “Do you want to open or save this file” prompt as well as re-enabling it for IE8 users if they have un-ticked the “Always ask before opening this type of file” check-box.

Hi Dave, I just got a brand new Samsung D500 and I want to put music onto it via USB cable, but it won’t work. How do I do it?

Wanna

First off, a disclaimer: I don’t have a Samsung D500 so I can’t test out what I’m going to explain here. However, just about all the MP3 players on the market work in the same way – and it’s how the Sony PSP works too, in fact – so let’s just talk about the general solution for downloading music onto an MP3 player.
The first step is to see if there’s any special software available from the vendor to help the process along. With the D500, for example, go to the Samsung Web site and click on “Support”, then type in the product name. I typed in D500 and then choose “TV, video and audio”. Wrong choice: no matches. I tried again with “Computer and related products” and got a list of three possible matches, one of which is your product, the SGH-D500.
Turns out that the D500 is a mobile phone, actually, not a simple MP3 player at all (wish you would have mentioned that, btw!) but I figured it out. Turns out that there’s a raft of different user manuals available on the D500 download center page, and, clicking on the Software tab, it turns out that there’s software you can download from Samsung too, including “Samsung PC Studio PC Sync (ver 2.0)” which is probably what you’d want.
Generally, though, if you don’t have any software or can’t find anything for your MP3 device (which, as you can see, includes cellphones!) then you should be able to copy across MP3-format audio files by:

  1. Hooking up the device to a USB connection on your computer.
  2. Going through the settings on your device to find a “USB CONNECT” or “USB MODE” option. Some devices do that automatically when they detect power on the USB cable, others (like the Sony PSP) require you to do it manually).
  3. Your computer should now automatically detect the device, probably showing it as a removable hard disk. Both Macs and Windows XP computers do a very good job with this, older operting systems can be more challenging (e.g., Windows 98, MacOS 9).

Now you just need to rummage around a bit and figure out where music files should be stored. One way to do this is to pay for one song to be downloaded from a service, if that’s an option, then see if you can find where it’s stored on your MP3 device and drop other songs into the same place. If that’s not an option, then just put a few songs in different directories and see if your device can find it once you disconnect and try to play a song or two.
Hope that helps you out! If anyone wants to send me a fancy MP3 player so I can test it out, I’d be happy to hear from you. 🙂

Let’s Stay In Touch!

I do have a lot to say, and questions of my own for that matter, but first I'd like to say thank you, Dave, for all your helpful information by buying you a cup of coffee!
