If I access Control Panel -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program link,
the process begins but a window opens saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working". Explorer
shuts down & I am returned to the desktop. This happens when I access CP from the start menu or
from within explorer.


Any help is appreciated.
