unable to establish file association

[Guest Lee Bartlett]

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.

You must be logged on as local administrator. Check the value of

'NoFileAssociate'

I thought I was logged on as local administrator. How can I tell which

credentials are considered the local administrator on this box?
