Like Matt said earlier, defining FILETAGS at the top of a project file
is easier approach. Fast tag filtering is the most amazing way to
zero in on items.

Can you please try:
(setq pop-up-frames nil)

This seems to work for me:
;; for invoking external viewers from within dired
(require 'extview)
(push '("\\.html$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.doc$" . "C:/PROGRA~1/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE %s")
extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.xls$" . "C:/PROGRA~1/OFFICE11/EXCEL.EXE %s")
extview-application-associations)
(push '("\\.pdf$" . "C:/PROFRA~1/Adobe/Reader\\
8\\.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe %s") extview-application-associations)
