You install a program. You decide you don’t like it. You uninstall it. But it changed your associations for a whole group of files, and now your original program doesn’t work. What do you do?
Visit Doug Knox’s site and pick one of these handy-dandy downloadable Windows XP File Assocation Fixes. He’s got 24 in all, from Batch Files to Zip Folders.
This also comes in handy if you inadvertently make a wrong choice when using the File Types tab on the Folder Options dialog box.
