You can check the archive located at: www.thethin.net

Otherwise, here you go:

On computers running Windows 2000 Terminal Services, the UI is locked
down so that no one can change file type associations (not even
administrators). This is done so that you can only edit the entries
programmatically or by using MSI-based applications. This ensures that
an inadvertent change in the UI does not effect the global file type
associations across the computer running Terminal Services and all of
its users. 

You can enable this functionality by changing the following registry
entry: 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoFileAssociate"=dword:00000000

Changing this key from its default value of 00000001 enables the File
Types dialog box to function just as it does for other Windows 2000
configurations.

Anyone know where or why I cannot assign file associations on my
terminal server?

The option "always use this program to open these files" is disabled
but I cannot find where?

Any ideas much appreciated.

It's one of those irritating ones.

Cheers
