How do I change file type associations in Windows 2000 Terminal Services?
You can change file type associations only in the admin mode version of WTS or you can perform the following in user mode from MS KB Q257592 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\Explorer] “NoFileAssociate”=dword:00000000 WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Us
