    Fault : Double-clicking a file opens Office but not the document
    Fix   : Turn off "Ignore other applications that use DDE"
    Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-office-dde-blank

    Run as     : The application, or PowerShell as the affected user
    Expect     : 10 minutes
    Risk       : low
    Reversible : yes

    WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX
    The application opens empty, or complains about sending the command to
    the program.

    HOW TO UNDO IT
    Set the value back to 1 to restore the previous behaviour.

    This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each
    one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints
    those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing.
