RE: [libreoffice-users] File associations for MSO to LibreOffice -- Win8

An interesting way for doing this is using the assoc command:
http://ss64.com/nt/assoc.html

If you want to change associations for a large number of machines in an enterprise environment is 
advisable to build a bat with assoc commands and deploy it with gpo's (for example)

For few machines the other methods are better, of course
