Sinead- This is a normal function of TS 2000 running in Application Server mode. The file association is greyed out by default. 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\E xplorer] "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. Administrators and Power Users can change the global file type settings for the computer and all of its users. Currently, there is no way through the UI to change or edit the user-specific file type associations stored in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes registry key. If you want to do this, you have to directly edit the registry or develop your own UI to gain access to this information. After you change this registry key reference this document for options on changing the file association. Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320033 Thanks.
