Cannot open attachment in Lotus Notes (How To)

I came across an incident that Lotus Notes user can't open (example Excel file) within Lotus Notes. The system prompted that "Sorry, an application to open this document cannot be found". The attachment has the .xls extension and can only be viewed with the Notes viewer, but cannot be opened.

Upon checking, I realized that it was simply due to Windows “file association” issue.

To resolve the issue, go to Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Then select XLS extension and associate it with the appropriate program (by clicking the “change” button).

That is how I solve the problem.

Making Your Own Passport Photo (How To)

Few days ago, my wife mentioned to me that she needs a photo in passport size for the kid so as to enroll her for school next year.
