Try these at the command line.

"ASSOC .wpd = WordPerfectDoc" and then "FTYPE WordPerfectDoc=winword.exe"

Subject: [THIN] File Associations

 

I have a need to associate .wpd (WordPerfect documents) with MS Word.  The
"always use this program to open these files" option is grayed out, even if
I log on as Administrator.  I need to know how to make this association in
the registry, or how to un-gray out the option file.  I get the same
situation when I go to Windows Explorer/tools/Folder Options/File Types -
the add button is grayed out.

I would like to make this change for all users. 

I am running Windows 2000 server with XPe 1.0 FR2. 

Thanks,
