How can I force a file to open with a certain application? I need both .tif
and .tiff to open with kodakimg.exe. I tried this batch file and it didn't
work.

assoc .tif=TIFImage.Document
assoc .tiff=TIFImage.Document
ftype TIFImage.Document=C:\Program Files\Imaging Professional\kodakimg.exe
"%1"

I need to do this for a few hundred machines. Can't be done by hand, need to
do it by GPO login script or another way.

If you go with the logon script
Create a kodakimg.reg file with the changes you need
Copy the kodakimg.reg file to the same location as the loginscript
Then add regedit /s "%~dp0kodakimg.reg"
Or you can use the REG.EXE ADD command in your loginscript
