File Association Problem

Virus hit a friends machine and I'm trying to repair. I can't do a file
association for his pictures. I entered the file types gif and jpg but the
computer hold the settings. Next time I get into the file types
(Tools>Folder Option>File Types), the gif and jpg are not missing again.
I've also tried to bring up a dos prompt to enter the command "assoc
..gif=giffile" but it gives me an error (stating, "error has occurred
processing gif file).

In addition, this only happens to one of the logins. His wife's login is
working correctly therefore I'm sure the system32 files are in place.

Any ideas what I can do?

Thanks,
Before reading your email, I restored from an earlier image and solved the
problem.
Thanks again
