Change File Associations??

Hi there

I need to change the file association for TIF images on all WinXP
workstations within my company. This is primarily due to the fact that
Windows Picture & Fax Viewer opens *ALL* files in a directory when you try
to print a file, and this has serious repercussions for me as I have ~4000 -
7000 files in a directory...

Anyway, I tried using tools such as ftype.exe and assoc.exe, and even
associate.exe from the resource kit... But I cannot seem to get it to work
properly.

Is there perhaps a way to do this via VBScript??

Thanks
William R.
