explaining how, after loading Project
2013 this can make your SharePoint libraries default to the 2013 versions of
the protocol handlers.
The fix is
easy – go take a look at Ray’s blog.
A special thanks for this informative post. I definitely learned new stuff here I wasn't aware of !
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pass this along, but the fix is even easier... delete the following registry key (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5) which is added by the 2013 application.

Most common problem is a user using the 64-bit version of Internet explorer. Only the 32-bit version has handlers for office files.

We solved this using the patch for Office SP2.
