Outlook/Windows Shell previewer registrations (registry update)
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
; Note (JM, 03/21/2018):
; Previously this registry file was set up to write to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but this is
; not always possible, especially if you don't have local administrator permissions.
;
; However, according to this article, you can use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
; instead to accomplish the same result for your own user account.
; See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/334603/is-there-an-hkey-current-user-equivalent-of-hkey-classes-root-record
; See also: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1790767-xlsx-files-won-t-open-in-windows-explorer-preview-pane
; Note (JM, 08/14/2018): Use these for respective previewer
