Registry Edit to Let Excel 2003 Read Quattro Files

After much screwing around with the Microsoft advice and reading of other postings, here are the contents of the REG file I created that now allows me to read old Quattro and Lotus (e.g., WKS, WK1, WQ1) files with Excel 2003, after getting an error message reading, "You are attempting to open a file that is blocked by your registry policy setting":

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security\FileOpenBlock] "LotusandQuattroFiles"=dword:00000000 "LegacyBinaryFiles"=dword:00000000 "LegacyDatabaseAndDatasourceFiles"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Security\FileSaveBlock] "LotusandQuattroFiles"=dword:00000000 "LegacyBinaryFiles"=dword:00000000 "LegacyDatabaseAndDatasourceFiles"=dword:00000000

Note: in case it wraps oddly in your browser, each opening quotation mark begins a new line, as does each opening bracket. You also need the title line. To make it work, copy and paste those lines verbatim into a Notepad file. Save it in Unicode formatting to a file called "Enable Excel to Read Quattro Files.reg". Close it. Double-click on it and run it. Same basic instructions for another REG file I have here, which I have named "Enable Excel to Open Old Spreadsheets.reg". I didn't have to run it today, but I believe the updating of Office 2003 with Service Pack 3 (?) did require it previously:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\OICEExemptions] "ExemptDirectory"="E:\\Current\\Projects\\Computer and Data\\Old Data\\Old Spreadsheets"
