Normal users unable to open JPG files (Power users can)

[Alan]

Hi All,

I have a problem whereby users who are set up with normal user status
on their machines cannot open JPEG files, but if we make them a power
user on their computer they can then open JPG files fine.

I found this posting in this group from Jun 2003 that partially
addresses the issue:

OR

The advice in there is to change the user to a power user, associate
JPG / JPEG file extensions with an appropriate image viewer, then
take them back to a normal user.

However, this does not seem to work for me. I have done those steps,
and there is definitely an association set up since they can open JPG
files in Outlook no problem as a power user, but as soon as I change
them back to a normal user, they can't open them any more.


Does anyone know how to make this work?

Thanks,

Alan.

My apologies - I was not paying enough attention to where I was when I
posted.

I will leave now ;-)
