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, Ken Lutz Senior Systems Administrator Information Systems Department Spokane County Spokane, Washington 99260
