I have set up a basic Intranet using HTML pages, in which
I wish to launch Word 2000 templates (dot). Whislt this
does work, it opens the template within an IE environment
whereas I want them to open in Word 2000. I cannot find
any setting within IE to force this requirement.
 
For your future reference.

Office Documents Open in Internet Explorer
When you click a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) link to
a Microsoft Office file (such as a Microsoft Excel
document), Internet Explorer may open the file in Internet
Explorer, instead of opening the file in the appropriate
Office program.

Work for PowerPoint Slides
When you configure Internet Explorer to open Office files
in the appropriate Office program on a computer that is
running Windows NT 4.0, the in-place activation does not
occur when you open PowerPoint slide files.

OFF2000: HTML File Opens in Another Office Program
For example, if you attempt to open a file by typing a URL
path similar to the following in the File name box of the
Open dialog box: http://localhost/sample9/Default.htm and
click Open or press ENTER, the file opens in FrontPage
rather than Word.
