Tweak of the week
Tweak #13 - october 31, 2001
System administrators and help desk operators know very well what happens when users change file associations by accident:
Suddenly they can't acces their files anymore and they call you!
This tweak makes this impossible.
The tweak has 2 versions: one for the current user only, and one for all users.
Go to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies
To change the setting only for the current user, go to this one instead:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies
Look for the following subkey:
Explorer
If it doesn't exist, create it.
Navigate to the Explorer key and look for the following value:
NoFileAssociate
If it doesn't exist, create it as a DWORD value.
Set this value to 1. To disable the tweak again, change the value back to 0 or delete the value.
This reg file does the work for you.
