Gee whiz, I thought, finally I've got something that will work.
I downloaded the zip, and ran the exe BUT when I go to the extension
pps, the button "remove file association" is greyed out so I can't do it

This is getting frustrating, have you any idea why it would be greyed
out?

Thanks a lot for the help!
