[X4U] Parallels 3.0 hijacked application defaults

[Robert A. Virzi]

Fantastic!  Did the trick.  Whew!

But it is really odd.  Only MS files were affected - Word, Excel, PP. 
Jpeg files, PDFs, itunes were not involved.  When I made the change I 
was half expecting doc files to open in Mac Word on the PC side, but 
all seems to be restored and normal now.

Coherence mode is very scary.  And so is this inter-OS file sharing. 
I think I am going to compartmentalize things a bit more until this 
shakes out.  I do not want to introduce a virus vector onto my Mac.

Thanks all for the help!
