download the file at: www.schnell.to/brandon/files32.bat
run the batch file then restart. if it works great, otherwise don't complain to me. it expects to see win95/win98/winME
its for the files32 virus, ignore that part, but what this will do is nuke the registry key that forces another program to be opened when opening applications.
repost here as to if it works or not.
