File Types/Extensions (A-G) Missing in W2K

[DivaTek]

To whom can assist,

I am having this issue on a few PC's with W2K loaded on with a Novell Network where a few users are having this issue where after logging in, the file types/extensions (.A-G) are missing. If I try to run any files with these extensions (example: program.exe or text.doc, etc...) it will not run or recognize it.

Thanks in advance.

You can use the Registry editor to fix this.

Export the File Association folders of the extensions from A-G into registry files. Then run them on the workstations that are affected with the problem.

The file extension associations are located in your registry under this Key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.*
.323
.669
etc.
Select the folder you want to export and save as a file. You can import the file by double-cliking the saved imported file.

You could export the whole HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder, but you have to make sure that the software installed on both computers is exactly the same. Otherwise you will have some problems.
