You can do the same thing via the WIE7 browser interface too (some 
people may find this to be easier):

1. Open the “Tools” menu.
2. Select “Internet Options”.
3. Select the “Security” tab.
4. Select one of the icons for the four zones: “Internet”, “Local 
intranet”, “Trusted sites”, or “Restricted sites”.
5. Press the “Custom level…” button.
6. In the “Settings” sub‐window under the “Miscellaneous” header, select 
the “Disable” radio button for “Open files based on content, not file 
extension”.
7. Press “OK”.
8. Repeat from step 4 for any of the other zones if desired.

I checked one of the registry entries mentioned in your linked resource 
and it gets changed when the above procedure is followed, so, 
apparently, this is the same exact setting.
