When I use Open With on HTML files, I get a spurious entry called
'Microsoft Office 2000 Component'. It's some sort of corruption of my
Front Page 2000 entry. If I choose it, I get *two* Front Page
instances, or sometimes a 'Runtime Error'. Here's a screenshot:

How can I get rid of it please? Is there perhaps a Registry key anyone
can point me to that I can simply delete?
