File associations for all users of an XP workstation

G

Guest

I installed one application on a Windows XP Pro Workstation as an
Administrator which changed the file association of .txe files from Notepad
to another application - which I didn't want. I changed it back to Notepad
and it all seemed fine until another user logged on.

Then, I realised that the change only applied to the administrator. I guess
the file associations for all users must be stored in the registry somewhere
- can anyone give me any assistance.

Cheers....

cmd.exe -> ftype txtfile="%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE" "%1" ->
Enter -> assoc .txt=txtfile -> Enter

Please tell us if it works.
