faizone 15 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 I need help changing the file association of doc/xls files to OpenOffice installed on the Solaris box. The problem is that Solaris looks for the default StarOffice but that is not installed on the server. In simple words, when we double-click on the DOC or XLS files' Open Office should come up. Any fix for this. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

faizone 15 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 Hi Ramesh, Thanks for the reply.. first thing.. we are talking about Gnome Desktop env on Solaris. The other thing is that the equivalent of what u have recommended would work for the one user under which i login and perform this operation. In my case, this issue has to be fixed on 30 x86 Solaris boxes with about 20,000 users hitting them through CItrix. The solution I am looking at is a universal file association change from Staroffice to Openoffice on all the 30 boxes. Any help would be welcome.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
