[ltsb, 1607] Default file association XML, list of ProgID/ApplicationName anywhere?

[Garacesh]

So we're looking at deploying Chrome out and I've been introduced to the Set a default associations configuration file option and that's sorted getting Chrome working, it's the default application for my test users if they log on to the machine it's applied to.. But as always: there's a 'but'.

 

I'm trying to test if I can have multiple default association configuration files. My reasoning on this is to say, for example, computers with Chrome want the default association to be Chrome. Easy enough, done that. But we also have users that do a lot of work with XML documents, which at current just open in IE which isn't exactly helpful to the end-user. Say I want them to open in Excel. But if the people opening those XML files don't have Chrome, I don't want to push a global file association file because obviously it'll muck them up.

 

Problem is.. I can't find ProgID/ApplicationName info about other software, like Office, or even Notepad. Google is letting me down.

 

Edit: 2 minutes after I post this, I stumble across a powershell function to pull ProgID's. Typical.

 

Edit2: The results are in: You can not have multiple default file association configuration files set in Group Policy. Bugger
