using: XP, IE 7.0, Office 2010, working within a company INTRAnet
HomePage created in Word & saved as html, with links to other Office files
I want these office files to open within the browser frame, but no matter what I try (including the target frame settings in MS word..edit hyperlinks) the files launch into new Excel, Powerpoint, or Word windows. Any way to fix this ?
fyi ...
I achieved the desired behavior on my personal machine by setting WindowsExplorer==>FolderOptions==>Advanced==> (pick XLS) ==> check "Browse in Same Window", but I can't control that setting on other users' machines. I can fiddle with the HTML and insert VBA if nec, but am not in control of user settings/registry settings.
Right, a few bits of information:
IE9 is not and will not be released for Windows XP, so your specifications must be wrong
Office documents are not web-compatible file types, they will not open up in a browser
If you wish to provide Office documents via an intranet, they will either have to be:
a. Downloaded and opened in the appropriate Office program
b. Accessed using Office Web Apps
c. Similarly setup files on Google Docs
d. Setup a SharePoint Server
e. Converted to PDFs or HTML form

I want to send an HTML email with link in them. The link should open files from a windows shared drive. The users will already be logged in to the network via VPN.
I've tried
Test Report
This works fine when opening on a PC but I can't figure how to open this in an iPhone although the users accessing the network thru a VPN client on their phone.
I'm open to use any third party solution
This link is for IPADs, but it should work with Iphone as well:

According to Apple's forum, you need to use some sort of third party software to access files, like filebrowser (link in the forum page). Personally, I use filebrowser and it works fine for me. It works kind of like WinSCP for windows. It pulls data from a Server (your vpn) and allows you to download and modify on your phone. It is cross platform compatible, so it is great if you have multiple devices. I have heard that FileExplorer Pro is exceptional, but I have not tried it. Here is the link to fileexplorer on the app store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fileexplorer-pro/id499470113?mt=8
EDIT:
As far as I know, this is not possible from any mobile device. Best bet is to send the file through a secure email, such as ProtonMail.
iOS is less flexible when it comes to file management and file associations, so there’s less you can do with these files. However, you can still open a video file directly from your shared folder and play it on your device or access other media files in a similar way. You could also use the “Open In” feature to open a file in a specific app.
The Windows network file sharing protocol is known as CIFS, which is an implementation of the SMB protocol.

I have a stack of onenote2007 notebooks that I'd rather not convert to onenote2016.
Opening one of these onenote2007 notebooks in onenote2016 results in every section being read-only.
I searched the internets and found this article:
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Upgrade-to-OneNote-2016-for-Windows-d22943e9-4c4e-4b4c-bbeb-2aa533e71ea1
The article says:
OneNote 2016 can read notebooks created with either OneNote 2016 or 2013 and it can also open, view, and edit any notebook files saved in the older OneNote 2010 and 2007 file formats.
If you’re upgrading from OneNote 2007 to OneNote 2016, your existing notebooks in the 2007 format won’t be automatically converted. This is to make sure you can use OneNote 2016 for all the notes you’re currently working in, including collaborative projects with people whose shared notebooks are saved in the older format. If you're still sharing notes with people using OneNote 2007, postpone upgrading the notebook file format until all others have upgraded to OneNote 2010 or later.
So, it sounds like I should be able to edit a onenote2007 notebook in onenote2016. But it shows up as readonly.
Things i've tried
Checked my office2016 is activated.
Tried to open the notebook from a \\ path. Same read only problem.
Tried to open the notebook from a C:\ path. Same read only problem.
Ensured the path to the notebook is not read-only by the OS.
I converted a section of a test notebook to onenote2016 and I could now edit that one section, but not the others (as they hadn't been converted)
I've checked the options for onenote2016 and couldn't find anything.
Thank you in advance.

To check which file format a notebook is saved in:
In OneNote 2016, open a notebook, and look at the title bar of the OneNote window. If [Compatibility Mode] is shown next to the notebook name, then the notebook is saved in the older 2007 format.
In OneNote 2010, choose File > Info. Next to the name of the notebook you want to check, choose the Settings button, and then choose Properties. In the Notebook Properties dialog box, look at the Default Format to see what format the notebook is saved in.
Guess you'll have to export each files by hand to the 2016 format :/

I upgraded OneNote 2007 to OneNote 2016 and this is how i fixed it.
Right click on the notebook.
Select Properties
Select the button that says "Convert to 2010-2016"
Done!
Thanks!
Background
I'm writing an excel app using the Javascript API for Office. (Office 2013). Inside that app, I have several links to folders on my computer/server, which I want to access from the app using the file protocol.
I've tested the file protocol with a dummy HTML file, using this link:
C:\Users\User\Desktop
It works perfectly, opening up the Desktop folder. I've also tested using a networked drive, and it works as well.
Problem
When I add this dummy link into an HTML page in my Excel web app, clicking on it does nothing. When I right click -> Open, IE11 opens a new instance (which doesn't happen with mailto: links), and asks if I'd like to give permission. After I do give permission, the folder is opened.
Goal
I want a single left click to open the folder location without the permissions box ever popping up. Worst case, I want to be able to have the user open a dummy link once during app setup and then once permission is given avoid having to right click -> open.
Question
How can I accomplish the goal here? Is Office just locking down the links?
Update
The primary issue I've found out is that the site I'm hosting the app on wasn't a trusted site. Links using the file protocol only work on intranet and trusted sites. So the only question now is whether the Office store location is trusted.
The problem here lies in the way that Office Apps work. A manifest file is stored with the Office Store, and that is what users download. That manifest points to a server location that the app developer specifies, and that is the location from which the app is served. That is the location which must be added to Trusted Sites in IE.
Therefore to get the File Protocol working smoothly, I'd need to include instructions with my App on adding my hosting server to the Trusted Sites domain, and I'd have to avoid ever changing domains.
So I have a local sever website that we have a status board at my command center (military). We are displaying an excel spreadsheet on this website as a .mht
I want to create a button to edit this (because the people I work with cannot figure out how to right click open with excel)
Basically what I would love to see is a button called edit that would launch excel and open the .mht file in excel.
Is this possible?
As .mht is only supported by Internet Explorer I guess your users are using Internet Explorer.
For security reasons it is not easily possible to run code on local computer pushed to the client from webserver - without the user seeing questions like where do you want to save the file, do you trust the file etc etc.
I would search for answer in following directions:
1 Internet Explorer can run nearly any code with the HTML user interface through the .hta file format - may be outdated today
2 Editing spreadsheet documents directly from the browser is nicely supported if you host the Excel files on Google Docs
3 Similar easy to use online spreadsheet editing should be possible through Microsoft's services OneDrive and Office Online
Thanks for you help in advance,
I am building a very simple web page , (a single page) with links to e.g bbc.com, cnn.com etc, (this works fine)
now i need to create diff links on that page to various location on our internal shared drive, which is already map to user pc from the server (running win server 2008).
wen users who's systems are not connected to our domain try to access the shared drive (after a shut down) they are always prompted for username and password which then give them access to the drive.
my ques now is how do i create this link on my html page so that when users click it. its opens (\10.10.0.1\k\Shared\HR) in windows explorer and not in the browser which it does now.
<li data-tags="Logo Design"><img src="images/portfolio/thumbs/image(5).jpg" alt="Illustration" />

Thanks for you help, I hope I have provide all the info needed to help me with this.
we all use chrome cause of google drive
This will not be accomplished by any default browser configuration that I am aware of, as using file:// references would typically cause the browser to try to launch the file. Maybe search though Chrome plug-ins to see if something is available there to override default browser behavior.
