[ MODERATED ] *********************** Is there any quick way to reassociate OO with all the correct associations? I'm deploying OpenOffice as the sole office suite. I install OO as administrator so I can copy the shortcuts to the All Users/Start Menu/Programs folder (Windows 2k) and then when I log in as another user on the system none of the file associations are there. I tried running the Setup link that is in the program folder as each user. It gives the option to establish the associations with the MS Office extensions, but doesn't get the OO ones as well (.sxw or whatever).
Is there any simple way to associate all these? This batch of computers is 10 big and having to do each association on each computer by hand is extremely time consuming. Not to mention that I have to do it 10 times, and when the next shipment of computers arrives have to do it all over again for the next bunch.

Did you try doing a multi-user installation using "setup -net"?
I think this might do it. When the program is installed on a single user machine the OOo associations are automatic (that is why there is no option to choose it during install.) I would imagine that would also happen during a multi user install.
Well, not -net. However, I did eventually discover the -alluser switch. What's the difference between -net and -alluser? It would be really nice if these were incorporated into the installer. :)
PS I've begun rollout and so far no one has complained too much about losing Word and Excel. Hopefully this is true for others people migrated away from the MS office suite.
