I know the registry locations, but it is not quite that
simple.
Look in HKEY_CLASS_ROOT which is just an alias
for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes but
there is similar area for each USER and you also
have to deal with file types or the CLASSids for fancier
programs like Word.
These two command line tools may help: assoc & ftype
(try /? on each) if you have to input a bunch of these.
I don't have anywhere near enough of them memorized
to help you.
You could (after a System State backup and making a
copy of your profile maybe) try saving this portion of
the registry from a working machine and loading it on
the sick one -- but that is fairly serious registry hacking
and based on your questions this may not be something
you are ready to do.
