SharePoint 2007 : Document (.mht file) open by MS Word by default

In SharePoint 2007 Document Library, when user click on the item (uploaded .mht file), it should open the mht file via Internet Explorer (IE).

It working fine in most of the machine except a few was not open directly via IE, when user click on the item, it is automatically by Microsoft Word instead of IE.

Any idea how can this be solve? could this happened due to the IE (version 7 & 8) settings? Perhaps the site is not added as trusted site or activeX.

Please help. Thank you in advanced.

It seems that user's default programs are changed. Look what is set in?

IE -> Internet Options -> Tools -> Html Editing

In the same menu html openers can be changed. Look for them too. May be that users changed html opener and/or editors.

look this link for different way of going to same menu. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/250815
