Thanks to Kelly, my "Open With..." problem is solved. Here is the solution
if anyone else has a similiar problem:
<SNIP>
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command
In the right pane double click (Default) and make sure it reads:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1
<SNIP>
fyi, my key read "%SYSTEMROOT%,%SYSTEMROOT% something" was where he
recommeneded I put "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1"
