File Associations on Terminal Server - Help needed

[Mat the Rat]

Greetings

Running Terminal services on Server 2000, 2.4.1 working fine except that file associations cannot be set, and are not remembered. Need to right click each time to "open with" scroll down and choose. Major downer. [The "Always use this program to open these files" is greyed out - never seen that before!!!]

When one clicks on a document that has been made in previous version of open office, an error message appears with Program not found. In the details it states that that "windows cannot find soffice.exe"

and asks for "location of soffice.exe" and gives the option of c:\ Even when pointing to correct place, this does not assist.

When we updated to to 2.2 we were stung huge bucks to get open office working after upgrading from 1.1.3.

I really hope I can work this out without bring the "experts" in for days.

Help!!!!
