Guest Candace Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 I need to change the default program that executes when a user runs AVI files. Usually I just go into Folder Options and make my changes under the File Types tab. However, I'd like to avoid having to go to every machine to make this change. Can this change be implemented by means of Group Policy?
Guest Jeremy Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Re: setting file types in group policy You'd have to write a custom GPO template to do this. Or use a startup script to megre a REG file.

Can this change be implemented by means of Group Policy? Any change in the registry can be made via group policy - however there is not an existing group policy template to specifically do what your after. You can make up your own policy template (simply refer to the existing templates to see how its done) or if you want to be quicker, you could deploy the .reg file (containing the updates you want) via SMS or a logon script (or use group policys scripts if you need to hide passwords)
