I have two machines, one with Windows 98, and the other with 2000. I tried the trick
on both. It worked fine on 98. But when I did it on 2000, the location of the Registry
data was the same, but the command was “%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL
%1”. I made the change and when I opened the “open with…” window, the “always use”
box and words were grayed out; they were not tickable. So if you plan to never tick
that box, the trick works for Windows 2000.
