Create file association via windows registry

[Guest]

I would like to create a file association for my users who are running
Windows XP Professional. I need to do this via the registry so it can be
easily deployed to all the client machines. Is this possible? If so, where in
the registry is this information stored at?

TIA

Windows Script Host (WSH) could do it. I recommend backing up the registry
first. Also try it on a test machine first before you do it globally.
