Fix file associations that get broken in Windows XP
Wednesday, December 29, 2004 11:35:14 PM (Pacific Standard Time, UTC-08:00) ( Tech )

By way of Omar Shahine comes this excellent resource:

If your file associations in Windows XP ever get wonky, the .reg files provided by Doug Knox will allow you to quickly and easily put them back to their Windows default settings:

“The files listed here are all ZIP files, which contain a REG (Registry) file. Download the ZIP and open it.  Extract the REG file to your hard disk and double click it.  Answer yes to the import prompt.  REG files can be viewed in Notepad.  Each of the REG files contains the default settings for the file extension indicated.”
