docx Mime Types with IIS 6 WSPS 2.0 SP2

[cj52973]

I've saved my .docx document to a document library within a Windows
Sharepoint Services 2.0 SP2 workspace. When I attempt to access the document
it refuses to use Word 2007 to open the file and instead it forces me into a
compressed file type mode.

I've set the docx mime type on the IIS server to be the same as doc. I've
checked my defulat programs on the client. I set IE 7.0 to look at
extensions rather than content type. I even looks at the
MIME/Database/COntentType in the registry.

It works with Firefox but not IE 7.0, and is driving me nuts. So how does
one set WSPS 2.0 on IIS 6.0 to allow IE 7.0 Beta 3 to autoopen docx files?

Thanks!

Ok, I found it... You have to set your default workspace server in Word. I
thought creating a newwork palce would be enough but it wasn't.

Office Button - Publish - Document Management Server - Tools - Map network
Drive - Link sign-up for online storage or connect to a network server.

Now when I go to the site it will open the documents.
