I have a stange problem which id like someone to answer for me if
possible.

We have a network of around 100 PC' and Laptops, running on a Windows
2000 Server. All Computers are in teh Active Directory under there
group and so are laptops.

We have just started to notice that when we goto Folder Options and
look at the file associations, all the buttons are greyed out, But
however this is only on laptops which are HP! If we did the same on
PC's they are not greyed out.

Yes It looks like permissions or something in the group policy but we
create a test user and did not place it in any of the PC/Laptops
organisations. And the same happened.

We found that by going into the registry and giving the Domain User
full control of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT solved the problem on some
machine but on a few it would not allow windows to load, it would
stop on loading explorer so you are just sat there looking at a blue
screen waiting for the start menu and icons to appear but they dont.

Does anyone know of this problem and if so can i have some help as im
pulling my hair out!!!!!

Run rsop.msc on the workstations & compare the results.
