I'm glad I could help. I don't get to do it that much with technical stuff, since I'm not very technical. I just like to fiddle around with programs to see what they can do. So I guess I'm sort of a self-taught (low-voltage) power user. Lol.

I had a similar problem with my pc recently. It didn't have anything to do with WB. My custom toolbars disappeared, taskbar stayed locked (wouldn't let me uncheck the lock function), icons rearranged, I couldn't apply wallpaper, when I right-clicked on desktop to get [Display Properties] box, the [Desktop] tab was missing, installing progs gave messages about not being able to make changes to the registry, and other problems. My media players wouldn't even work properly, although I don't use Win
How about using another program like Irfanview to snag the file associations first? Then you can change them to whatever you want after Irfanview has taken them over.
