How can I make a Windows app be the default for a particular file type? For example, I would like to open .docx files using MS Word for Windows. From within Word I can use Open File and navigate to a file to edit it, but I'd like to double click on the file's icon in OSX and have the file open in Word. Same for Excel. I am running Fusion 6.0.0 and Windows XP Pro.
In Fusion, I go to VM > Settings > Default Apps. The first option is to open Mac files using Windows apps, and it specifically mentions MS Word as an example. I checked this option and then clicked on Configure, but I don't see any option for selecting Word and Excel asa defaults for their files. Also, I checked Run Windows Apps from Mac Apps Folder, and the apps don't show up in the folder.
