You can use the ASSOC tools and make a script to define this.
 
I use to have a script for this for image files, and update it when i
change apps, this way is a walk in the park to reset file assosiations
when some dumb application tries to hijack them, as so many application
tend to do.
 
The batch script can be like this:  (OIS=Office 2003 Picture Manager)
 
 
assoc .jpg=OISjpegfile
assoc .jpeg=OISjpegfile
assoc .jpe=OISjpegfile
assoc .bmp=OISbmpfile
assoc .gfa=Paint.Picture
assoc .gif=OISgiffile
assoc .jfif=OISjpegfile
assoc .tif=OIStiffile
assoc .tiff=OIStiffile
assoc .dib=OISbmpfile
assoc .emf=OISemffile
assoc .jpe=OISjpegfile
assoc .png=OISpngfile
assoc .wmf=OISwmffile

Emne: [THIN] W2KTS file association issue



I'm running a single W2K TS server w/Citrix 1.8 FR2 and have a problem
changing file associations. A systems admin at my company recently
installed an application on the server that associated itself to gif,
tif, tiff and jpg file extensions. 

 

I can successfully enable the "File Types" option in Explorer, as
administrator, and change the extensions use Microsoft Image Preview
application. Unfortunately, the change only applies to file associations
in the profile the change was made in (including local admin and domain
admin). 

 

I thought that modifying the HKLM setting and changing the file
association as per MS article 257592 would work globally? Do I need to
use FTYPE and ASSOC to manually change the file types?  I realize this
topic is covered extensively in the archives but have yet to find
anything to remedy the situation.

 

Thanks,
