    Sometime after doing the clean install of vista and installing all my normal progs, all my program associations were lost. i think it was either a program install that jacked it up or it was running the registry cleaner thing in Easy Cleaner. I know how to set it to open avi/wma and all those files with a default program all the time, but i do now which program to open ".msi" files and "search-ms" with.

    i know msi is windows installer, but i have no idea where to find that in the open with list browse. is there any way i can just download something or do something to restore all my program associates back to default? anyone else had this happen to them?
