Ken,
 
Here is the easy way to fix that, MS KB article #257592.  (I hope the
link doesn't wrap)

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,
