Vista - Administrator or Power User privileges not recognized in Vista

permalink · 12-17-2007

I am trying to associate .eml files with the Incredimail Program I use.
However, I keep getting the message "You need to have Administrator or Power
User privleges in order to associate .eml files with IncrediMailXe.

I am the only user/Administrator on my PC and I've tried everything I know
of, including turning on and off User Account Control.

Did you get help with this? I'm having the same problem?

No I haven't solved this yet, either through MS or Incredimail.

Got these instructions just this a.m. from Incredimail technical support:
It worked for me. Hope it works for you!

To solve the problem you are experiencing, simply do the following:

Open IncrediMail and select an email. Click the 'File' menu, select 'Save As...' and save the email to your Desktop as an .eml file.
Minimize all the windows, right-click the .eml file you saved on your Desktop, scroll to 'Open With...' and select 'Choose Program'.
Select 'IncrediMail Application' from the list and check thecheckbox.
From now on, all your .eml files will be opened with IncrediMail.
