Hi daffsbro.
Download, unzip and apply the reg fix posted by KA-50Hokum from this msdn thread here. (second post)

Copy and paste this into notepad. Save it as a reg file - for example help.reg

now double click the reg file and (ignore the warning if there is one) and enter it into the reg.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xml]
@="xmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/xml"
"PerceivedType"="text"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xml\OpenWithList]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xml\OpenWithList\winword.exe]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xml\PersistentHandler].

@="{7E9D8D44-6926-426F-AA2B-217A819A5CCE}"

P.S. (Added later)If this procedure bothers you, maybe its best to go for the link given by the previous poster. I've only just read it!

Same fix in the download, though definetly shorter.
