Thanks for all the input everyone. So if I want to do this for free on
server 2003, I need to use a startup script policy or edit the registry?
I might try Florian's solution.

Minesh,
PolicyMaker is now a Microsoft product called Group Policy Preferences
and is available to use for FREE when creating/editing GPOs on a Server
2008 or Vista SP1 RSAT system.
In GPP there is native support for changing file type associations
instead of editing the registry directly or with a registry extension
for Group Policy.

Yes this is what I have done in the past, I now use a GPO plugin called
policymaker where you can amend the registry. - i had the same problem
when uninstalling winRAR it uninstalled the .zip extension.

You can do file associations with the new Group Policy Preference
extensions available from Microsoft. Either that or use Computer Startup
Script policy to import a .reg file to fix the association.

I found that MS Office SP3 breaks the association between .tif files and
MS Document Imaging. MS's solution is for each user to go in and and
re-create the association in tools>Folder Options>File Types. This is
not practical with our Citrix invironment, because users can't even see
those file options through their published applications, and I don't
want them to either. Has anyone encountered this? It seems like a GPO
solution should be available.
