How to auto open excel/doc files

How to auto open excel/doc files

[呂 克]

Hi all!
I'd like to auto open files by system application in dired mode.
For example:
when I pressed enter at the point of files which is *.xls,it opened by
excel/openoffice.
when I pressed enter at the point of files which is *.pdf,it opened by
acrobat reader.
Have any advice?

Thanks!

If you are on MS Windows, then try library `w32-browser.el'. It lets you
open files in Dired using Windows file associations, so, for instance,
clicking `mouse-2' on a file foo.xls would open the file in Excel.
