Hello,

I have an application that was rolled out as a Symantec AI package but it
has failed to associate the appropriate file extension with the package. The
easisest way I can think of applying this change, without visiting each
machine, is by applying a Group Policy to create the File Extension
Association but cannot find any options to do this through a Group Policy
object.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Gavin
