That was a new feature in Windows 2000, per user HKCR.  What you really get
is a merge of HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes and HKCU\Software\classes.  However,
under 2000, the GUIE changes the system setting.  So I am surprised you are
not seeing the change system wide.

Huh, my whole life I thought that file associations were a per-system,
not per-user setting, but here I am changing file associations for me on
this terminal server and it has no effect on other users.  I know
nothing.  I should just quit now and bag nutsacks for a living.  See
y'all around.

Thanks,

Ray at work
