How do I restore office file associations after OpenOffice installed?
Hello. Had a client that recently wanted to try out OpenOffice. After a week, decided maybe setting OpenOffice as the default for MS Office files wasn't such a good idea. Is there an easy way to restore these file associations? I know I can go through Tools>Options>File Types, etc, etc, but it seems that there are more than a few file types that will need to be restored and I'm hoping there's a more programatic or scripted way to do this. Any ideas?

They still want OpenOffice installed. They want to migrate to it a little slower than they initially thought.

I ended up just manually hitting each workstation and updating .xls .doc and .ppt manually.

I actually ended up manually resetting the defaults. There were only about 10 computers, so the time commitment was minimal.
