I was thinking the same thing thumbup.gif ...I think I'll leave it as is.

I appreciate your looking on your PC for those File Types. Since they are "system file" associations, maybe XP hides them to discourage tampering.

I want to thank you and everyone else in this thread for your assistance. This forum is one of the most helpful I have visited. adios.gif

Also, I realize now that the Registry may actually have been OK initially. I'm wondering if I should restore the registry back to the way it was (by trying System Restore, or by importing my backup of the original HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder back into the registry), or should I just leave well enough alone since things seem to be working?

You know have the settings totally at how they are at default, so I would leave it like this smile.gif Glad you found a solution and thanks for mentioning what it was.
