Default Tif File Association Lost

Hi all

After applying windoze updates, my PC appears to have lost any reference to
tif images.
I can right click and open-with Picture and Fax Viewer OR Document Imaging.
Does it matter which one I use, the Imaging option is a lot faster.
How do I associate Document Imaging with tif documents when the PC doesn't
recognise this file extension?

Is this a known issue with Windows updates?

TIA

Phil

Here is the reg hack to fix the issue associate. I created a script to push
this remotely to a list of computers:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif]
"Content Type"="image/tiff"
"PerceivedType"="image"
@="MSPaper.Document"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif\MSPaper.Document]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif\MSPaper.Document\ShellNew]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif\OpenWithList]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif\OpenWithList\MSPVIEW.EXE]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tif\OpenWithProgids]
"TIFImage.Document"=hex(0):

Just copy and paste this in to a text file and save with a name of your
choice, change the extention to .reg and your good to go.
