I don't think that the log has anything to do with SAS. That might be a problem with Win7, independant to SAS. I get very often that messages in Win7 with "insufficient authorization".

If your extensions-associations are incorrect, you can try the following:

press the shift-key while right-clicking on the file you want to open. Then choose "select another program" (not sure if that is the right menue point, but something like that...). Then wait a bit. If it lasts too long, look "behind" the open windows, sometimes the selection window does not appear in the foreground. Now, before you click "ok", have a look at that window. There is a checkbox which says something like "always select that program to open...". Check it and click ok. After that eg. ".sas"-files should be opened always with SAS with a double- click.
