Thanks Christof
Alan's tool helped solve the problem but there were indeed some problems\anomalies with some of registry entries. Happily all is working now.

File extensions can be registered in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive. Maybe there's something in your own settings that is causing the problem. All of the suggested fixes register extensions system wide.
What do you see if you create a new local Windows user and log on as that user?
