We have non administrators who are having problems with file association.

they are wanting to open .as file extensions with Sepy actionscript editor
but instrad they are opening in Flash MX 2004. doing the usual open with >
locating the aplication to open it with > doesn't work, it still opens in
Flash not Sepy.

As an administrator on my PC I dont have this problem, so I added the user
to the local admin group, rebooted, logged on, did the open with and it
worked - Fantastic I thought. I removed the user as a local admin and
logged them back on but it went back to opening with Flash
MX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAGGHH

Does anyone know where I can change this in the Registry or know of a way to
get around this??

Cheers Ears

Post the exports for HKCR\.as and the associated filetype and then
also from HKCU\softtware\classes\.as (and the filetype) if those
exist. What OS?
 
Will try that and let you know - OS XP SP2
