Loose File Association with Limited User Account with Office 2007



I installed Enterprise Office 2007 on Wnxp sp2. The installation went
smoothly. I can see all my previous office data (word, excel, etc). In
windows explorer, when I click on word or excel, the appropriate application
launches. However, when I switch to my limited user account, I loose the
file association. All my word documents are in WordPad. From windows
explorer, when I click on them, it launches WordPad. I have tried the “open
with” option. It will open with word 2007, but it will not change the file
association. When I give the limited user account admin privileges,
everything is fine. But when I take away the admin privilege, I am back to
square one. I am guessing this will require registry setting, but I do not
know how to go about it. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.
