That worked.  I just had to supply the full path to winword.exe and add "%1".
 
Thanks!

Try these at the command line...

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

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,
