Your help is highly appreciated.

I did something similar and associated a file with the wrong application
how I resolved it is as follows:

If a problem is less than 5 days old in win98 then restart the system
repeatedly pressing the F8 key and choose Command prompt only Dos or
restart in Msdos mode and type scanreg/restore and try an older
reg(cab file)backup,however you may have to re-install some programs
and user changes if they were installed after this date.

Good luck but it worked for me.

What file type are you talking about?
Have you tried changing it in Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types?
