Solutie

Pasi de urmat

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Create a new 32-bit DWORD value on the right-hand side with the following values:

  • Name: NoInternetOpenWith
  • Value: 1

The change should be immediate, no need to restart anything. To reset back to default, set the value to 0 or delete the key.
