Open .RTF files in a new window

Hi,

I need to modify the XP registry so that when a user clicks on a link to an
RTF document it opens up Microsoft Word in a different window. The catch is
that I don't want any other Word extensions to be opened in a new window
(i.e. If a user clicks on a .doc document, it will open up in the same
window).
I have been playing with the BrowserFlags registry setting and have added it
to the HKCU\Software\Class\Word.RTF.8 key without success.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Greg
