MS documents are downloading as zip from share point.

Hello,

There are some documents in the share point like .doc or .xls or .docx and .xlsx but they are downloading as .zip.

Windows 7 64-bit, IE8
troubleshooting:
disabled in IE under Security for all zones "Open file based on content, not file extension"

on other website i have found as well to add in registry:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PROG_ID_OF_MIMEHANDLER_TO_IGNORE\"PreferExecuteOnMismatch"=DWORD:00000001

have you ever faced such issue and know how to fix it?
any solutions are welcome.
I will check them and give reply if working.

"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000000
Ahhhh. Thank you for posting this follow-up information. I'm sure it will help someone in future!
