I have a web page with a file upload form.

Does IE still report "application/vnd.ms-excel" for excel files
(file.xls) even if excel has not been installed on the computer yet? Or
does it get reported as application/octet-stream or whatever.

Thanks
 
I have one machine without Excel and it has no reference to
"application/vnd.ms-excel" in the Registry, so I don't see that it can
be reported.

All other machines with Excel have the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\Content
Type\application/vnd.ms-excel
