File associations can't be changed.

We're running a pure Windows 2000 enviroment with active directory. We have Terminal Services running on a member server and for some reason the change button on the file types tab of folder options is greyed out. I can change this setting on all of our other server's so It's doesn't seem to be a domain policy and I can't find any local policy that would affect this on the the server. I'm trying to tell Windows to open all JPEG's with Imaging instead of IE6. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

Zach

I believe this is the default behavior when Terminal Services is in Application Mode. But you can edit these registry entries to change it : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer

If you see an entry "NoFileAssociate" , either delete it or set it to "0".

Thanks. That works great.
