I have a new user on a computer and he cannot open all AutoCAD files. When he is logged in as a different user, he doesn't have any problem opening all of the files. I have deleted his profile checked permissions and reinstalled AutoCAD. Under file associations it has AutoCAD as unknown and not the correct executable, but he can open some AutoCAD files. I am stuck. Thanks in advance for any help!

And if you edit it to match exactly that of a working profile?
 
It doesn't take. I can find the file but it won't attach.

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=systems=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
