Associate .tif and .mdi files with Microsoft Office Document Imaging

I need to associate .tif and .mdi files with Microsoft Office Document Imaging on over 1300 XP clients.

Can I do this with vbscript rather than manually per the below KB article???

You can also try the DOS commmands (which can be executed from a VBS file), FTYPE and ASSOC.
Try this in a batch file, see if this works:

ASSOC .tif="MSPaper.Document"
ASSOC .tiff="MSPaper.Document"
ASSOC .mdi="MSPaper.Document"
FTYPE MSPaper.Document="rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscr
een %1"
