OK, before I went to bed I figured I'd go ahead and uninstall all players and did. Now the files show just as we would expect since there is no program associated with them. Looks good so far,

Before I head off to bed I figured I'd better post for the best free registry check/repair tool so I can get it in the morning and use it before I install VLC. I just don't trust the one I have.
Thanks again.
