How about this: Does anyone know which registry keys I'd have to give
them permissions to modify so my scripts would work?

 

Thanks!

Subject: Allow users to change file associations

 

I'm looking to either script some file association changes for locked
down users, or allow them to change associations themselves. I had been
fixing them one at a time for the first file type we needed to allow,
but yesterday our training department added a few video file types
(.mpeg / MPEG-2) that don't play with WMP, but do play with Media Player
Classic (which is already installed on their machines).

I've been google-ing my butt off, testing different assoc and ftype
scripts, etc., but nothing has worked yet, possibly because users don't
have the rights to edit the registry.  Has anyone had a similar issue
that they've overcome? 

Thanks again for any assistance.
