Open Office Viewer (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) in IE

K

I am trying to use the newest Office Viewers provided by Microsoft to
open Word, Powerpoint, and Excel files inside of Internet Explorer. I
know with the full version of these programs it is possible to set
this up, but when only the viewer is installed the option to "Browse
in same window" (found within windows explorer Tools->Folder Options-
File Types->Advanced) is no longer available or greyed out.

I found several articles on this matter including:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/162059

which tells me how to do the opposite of what I want to do. I tried
watching the registry when making the changes suggested, but the
affected key that is added with a certain value or removed, not
updated with a different value depending on the desired behavior. So
that was no help.

Does anyone know of a way to force/trick IE into opening these files
using the viewer?

Thanks,
Kasey
