Normal users unable to open JPG files (Power users can)
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: http://groups.google.co.nz/group/mic...ad6fd ee97e62 OR http://tinyurl.com/ew8gf 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. -- The views expressed are my own, and not those of my employer or anyone else associated with me. My current valid email address is: This is valid as is. It is not munged, or altered at all. It will be valid for AT LEAST one month from the date of this post. If you are trying to contact me after that time, it MAY still be valid, but may also have been deactivated due to spam. If so, and you want to contact me by email, try searching for a more recent post by me to find my current email address.
