When I go to the File Types tab in Folder Options on the Control Panel, "New"
is grayed out. How do I establish a missing file association? Specifically,
I need to associate the TIF extension to a program.
 
I thought I was logged on as local administrator. How can I tell which
credentials are considered the local administrator on this box?

'NoFileAssociate'
