I'm guessing a bit here, but the problem might lie in the Path or
PATHEXT environment variables, rather than Explorer's file associations
(which I don't think cmd even knows about) - one or the other may have
been modified by the 1.8.4 one-click? I'm probably embarrassingly wrong
though, so hopefully someone else can be more helpful...
