You can use the assoc command to associate an application to a file type for
all users. You'll need to put the server into install mode before running
I think it will be 'assoc .gif=iexplore'

Hi Hector,
The trouble is that file associations aren't just defined under HKCR. You have
per-user file associations that can be defined under HKCU\Software\Classes, and
of course you've got windows file associations, under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Extensions and Windows explorer
doing it's own things with file extensions under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts. And that's
not covereing mime type definitions
Per-user file asociations override per-machine ones, and the windows and
explorer settings override the stuff under HKCU\Software\Classes so anarchy
rules. It'd almost make you think that the operating system, windows and
windows explorer developers were all doing their own thing, but I'm sure
Microsoft would have things better integrated than that ;-)
Seriously, if you want to totally control what applications open a particular
type of file, you're going to have to manage the per-user stuff as well as the
machine settings. It's not that hard to do.
regards,
Rick

Hi all,
I am trying to associate *.gif files with Internet Explorer for all users. If
I modify giffile entry in the HKCR registry,it does not apply to all users.
How am I suppose to make this a global change. Change user /install and change
the file assoc. in Windows Explorer?
Thanks,
