SUMMARY
PERUSER enables or disables per-user file associations.

Syntax
peruser [/query] [/enable] [/disable]

Parameters
none

/query

Queries the current setting.

/enable

Enables per-user file associations.

/disable

Disables per-user file associations.

Security Restrictions
Only administrators can run peruser.

PERUSER -- Additional Notes
By default, all file associations in applications such as File Manager are system global (they apply to all users). Per-user file associations are not enabled because they may cause user profiles to grow 1-2 MB. If you have users who require per-user file associations (for example, if one user wants to associate .doc files with Microsoft Word but another user wants them to start the Word Viewer), you can enable per-user file associations by using the peruser /enable command. Use peruser /disable to disable per- user file associations. Use peruser /query to check if per-user file associations are enabled.
