[db.·.. >]

click on start>run>regedit

then use the file menu option
to find and search for something
like .html

it will take you to that area
you need to find.

sometime it is necessary to
delete the key to a particular
extension that is dysfunctional.

then you can recreate it via
the folder options method.

ps: don't forget
to make a system
restore point before
tweaking the registry.

it's simple insurance
that will protect your
system from accidental
modifications.

Added info: Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: assoc

Copy the line for the association you wish to restore. A Command Prompt
window will open. Right click in this Window and select Paste. Then press
Enter.

~~~

ASSOC [.ext[=[fileType]]]

..ext = Specifies the file extension to associate the file type with
fileType = Specifies the file type to associate with the file extension

Type ASSOC without parameters to display the current file associations. If
ASSOC is invoked with just a file extension, it displays the current file
association for that file extension. Specify nothing for the file type and
the command will delete the association for the file extension.
