In document libraries, when the check box is select, the hyperlink when clicked, opens the file with the program associated with the extension of the file rather displaying the properties of the file.
   
   Note: The Lightning Conductor 2010 Web Part does not display the FULL list item menu that you usually see on the out-of-the-box lists and libraries Web Parts, that is, the Lightning Conductor Web Part does not fully replicate the functionality of the LIM on the out-of-the-box Web Parts, whch display the contents of lists and libraries.
