Hi Brian, Or you can use assoc.exe and ftype.exe. They don't pay any attention to explorer policies ;-) Regards, Rick Ulrich Mack rmack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Volante Systems 18 Heussler Terrace, Milton 4064 Queensland Australia tel +61 7 32467704 -----Original Message----- From: Claus, Brian [mailto:BClaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, 15 April 2003 4:09 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Why is Tools \ Folder Options \ File Types greyed out? Thanks guys, you rule. Note: I had to make the changes, log out as local admin and then log back in before the change took effect. _____ Brian Claus -----Original Message----- From: Erik Blom [mailto:erik.blom@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 11:47 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Why is Tools \ Folder Options \ File Types greyed out? found in Microsoft KB article 257592: 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\Explo rer] "NoFileAssociate"=dword:00000000 Erik Blom System Engineer, mcse, cca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Claus, Brian" <BClaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 5:15 PM Subject: [THIN] Re: Why is Tools \ Folder Options \ File Types greyed out?
