Now it is a couple of years ago you had this problem, but I just had the same problemen
on XP and after a couple of hours I think I figured it out. I though I would post
an answer to this thread (since I searched the web and could not find a good answer
anywhere)! At least this worked for me on XP. I hope it will work on 2000!
You probably have another application that steals the association. You can most likely
release it from within that application and then the default approach as explained
will work.
However, if you would like to keep the association to the your favourite texteditor
then you must create an extra ShellNew in a subkey to the .txt key. For example,
if you have UltraEdit, then UltraEdit creates a UltraEdit.txt key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.
Then you have to (re)create the ...\Classes\.txt\UltraEdit.txt\ShellNew key and there
add a String value (named FileName or NullFile or the like) according to the ordinary
rules.
Search for ".txt" and you will find the associations created by your installed applications.
