The title said it all.
Is it possible to distribute Word-documents and open them with word in stead of word, embeded in a browser window?

It's an IE "feature" to do this ... if you use another browser then Word will be launched seperately as a helper application.
There is an option or registry setting to turn off the Office/IE copulation but I've forgotten what it was.

Great, Microsofties, always there to help you where you don't want that 
Don't bother about the registrykey, I'm feeling already quite comfortable in that jungle.

Koen, you may also want to check the use of a flash player embedded in a html page. With the flash "getURL" command, you can open a file on the client computer. Of course you need to know the full path of the word .exe file.
Client computer will be warned by browser about the local file launch attempt. This is something someone may dislike.

I 'll need the registry key to be able to distribute this beheaviour on the whole network, but by changing this setting I can search the difference in the registry before and after the checkbox filled in (using winstall from Veritas). That way I can provide a loginscript or policy with msi-file to distribute it to a set of users or computers. And that will be the goal (deadline 1 september
