Assuming that your internet explorer can deal with all these files correctly, you can add each filetype into your ~/.mailcap as below. I have the following in there, and these filetypes are shown in the "right" application. The .doc files go to Word, .ppt goes to powerpoint etc. There might be a better way of doing this, and if there is, hopefully someone else will chime in .. Note that the path specified in .mailcap is DOS path, and not a Windows path. -p text/common;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/msword;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/msexcel;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s image/jpeg;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s image/pjpeg;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s image/gif;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s image/bmp;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/pdf;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/ppt;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/vnd.ms-powerpoint;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/vnd.ms-excel;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/vnd.framemaker;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/x-frame;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/x-zip-compressed;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s application/octet-stream;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s video/mpg;C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE.EXE %s
