Question : Block by Registry policy setting
I am begin plagued by the following error:
"You are attempting to save a file type that is blocked by your registry policy setting"
I get it when I open an XML file in excel 2003 and try to save it as a Lotus spreadsheet (WK4)
Normally, I run the UnblockExcel.reg file and it clears it up.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
e\Microsof
t\Office\1
1.0\Excel\
Security\F
ileOpenBlo
ck]
"LotusandQuattroFiles"=dwo
rd:0000000
0
"LegacyBinaryFiles"=dword:
00000000
"LegacyDatabaseAndDatasour

I've run the reg file but under the Admnistrator account but in this case, process is automated and running under a service (DirectoryWatcher) which logs in under the Local System Account so I think that's the problem.
This process is running on a Server 2003 OS.
How do I get these reg settings to apply to the Local System account?
Thanks,
Tom
