Excell/Powerpoint won't run independently

[TomPose]

How do I prevent MSExplorer 6 from opening an excell links in an excell window within explorer? I want to have the link open in an Excell window outside of explorer. This happens also with powerpoint. I want to have the powerpoint open in powerpoint proper, not within another explorer window.

Thanks

Open Windows Explorer & go to Tools, Folder Options, File Types tab. Srcroll down & select .xls, Advanced button, check the 'Confirm open after download' checkbox. Repeat as required for other file types.
