Go to the following registry key in Windows registry (You can type regedit.exe in the start menu search bar to open it):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Now right click anywhere in the right pane and create a new 32-bit DWORD value with the following parameters:
- Name:
NoInternetOpenWith - Value:
1
Close the registry editor for the changes to take effect. Now, whenever you try to open a file with no associated program, Windows 7 will skip the web service prompt and directly open the "Open With..." window.
