I have several clients running windows xp home addition. &nbsp;They use Microsoft Office Document Imaging to view incomming faxes from the internal website on our Windows SBS 2k3 (MSPVIEW.EXE). &nbsp;The problem is certain apps keep steeling the file associations for the .tif files. &nbsp;My useers are not very technically savy and they are not onsite so I need to know if there is a way to reassociate MSPVIEW.EXE with tif files through a command line or by adding a registry key. &nbsp;this way I could simply write a simple cmd file and make an icon for them to run whenever it breaks. &nbsp;This issue needs to be resolved pretty quickly so I am going to give it a high point value.

Creating file association from a command line.

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
