"How would you like to open this file?" dialog when opening a document
On our sharepointsite.net site when we went to open a document from a document library a dialog opened asking
You are about to open
Name: xxxxxx
From: xxxxxxx
How would you like to open this file?
Read Only
Edit
i have just setup our own sharepoint server and when you open a document to goes straight to read only mode rather than asking how to open it
how do i get our site to ask this before opening the document?
Regards, Stephen.

If this is a client setting, how do you enable it? I have enabled it for my user account, but have no idea how! It would be nice to know how so that I can have my other users enable the option.
Thanks
you need to open Windows Explorer, and under the Tools menu select Folder Options and then go to the File Types tab. Find the extension for the file type you want to modify, click the "Advanced" button and then unselect the "Browse in the same window" button to have the file open in its native application
