This is just a blurb about a MSOHTMED cmd line arg I have not seen documented previously. Not sure if it can be used for anything special, but documenting it for the sake of it anyway.
MSOHTMED.EXE /oN <file>
will open <file> with a following program chosen depending on a value of N:
- 0 – Word
- 1 – Excel
- 2 – PowerPoint
- 3 – Access
- 4 – Sharepoint Designer
- 5 – Publisher
- 6 – Project
- 7 – Visio
- 8 – OneNote
- 9 – ForeFront (not confirmed!)
If a target app is not installed, the file will be opened by Word.
