Disable MXDW Printing Preferences programmatically

Question

There's a setting on Windows 7 to automatically open XPS files from MXDW:

Is there a way to change this checkbox setting through code? I'm using C#/VB.NET

Answer 1

Nevermind, I've figured it out.

I used a registry comparison tool (regshot) to see what changes in the registry when I toggle this setting. It is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\mxdwdui]
"OpenAfterCreation"

DWORD 0x00000001 (1) means 'checked'
