  .vsd: 0

Note that you must include the space between the colon (:) and the value of 0. Click Add. You can enter multiple extensions, following the procedure I just described.

That’s it! Now, whenever users double-click .vsd files, Visio 2007 Viewer will automatically get installed. Interestingly, if you add more extensions after the initial deployment of the package, you don’t have to wait for Group Policy to be refreshed for the change to take effect. It works instantly!
