I have this customer that only wants to use .xls files so i made it so that when they right-klick in an explorer window they get the option of creating "new microsoft excel 97-2003 worksheet" and this works fine. the problem arises when they create a file this way and then use "Save As" because this then defaults to a .txt file.
I understand it does this becasue it imports the file and converts it for use and i also had yo use the Shell-Hardening option to get away from the error msg that pops-up.
Now my question is: is it possible to change this behavior so that it defaults to .xls when you use "Save As" on the new file?
*yes i have this set in an gpo aswell*
