Disable "Open in Word" popup in Chrome
Chrome 77 disabled the option to "Always open these types of links in the associated app".
This meant you didn't have to always dismiss the "Open in Word" popup when generating a Word document.
It's possible to get this option back by adding a couple of registry entries in Windows.
Danger! Modifying the registry is only for very advanced Windows users and IT professionals.
The below text represents the Registry entries required. Copy this into notepad, and save it as a .reg file. Then double click that file to update your Registry.
