Cannot edit file type for non-admin user

Hello,

My son's account in XP has the jpg file extension pointing to the wrong
path. When I go to folder options->file types under his login the
buttons to make any changes is grayed out. (he is not an admin). Under
my account (admin) and my husbands (non-admin) it is mapped correctly.
How do I change this on my son's account? Thanks for your help.

Sandy

Thanks to a wonderful helper on this site it is fixed. Made my son an
admin, which I had already done, but forgot to reboot. Once I rebooted
I was able to fix his settings. Now to take away admin privs before he
goes wild on the PC. :)
