Changing File Type Defaults in the Registry
Got another tricky question to throw out here today:
Gotta terminal server going. Employees log on remotely. We run OpenOffice on it instead of MS Office. For most of us, .doc files open in OO automatically, but one user (who happens to be the CEO) has a problem that .doc files always open into Wordpad.
So you'd think that's simple enough to fix -- Just get him to change his file defaults next time he logs in. Nooooo, not doing that, they want me to fix it from where I am as admin for them from my admin account specifically. Why I can't just have him do it from his is beyond me, but hey, let's go the hard route and learn something new.
So, one would think the answer lies somewhere in the registry, right? Is there a way I can go in and change the file type default for .doc files for everyone so that they open in OO and not Wordpad?
