The apps seem to run fine after that.

Thoughts on how to fix?

Hm, that's a tricky one. Sometimes you wish it would ask "open with" all the time but could get to be a pain. I would say you need to play with default settings but in XP its not so obvious as it would be in win7 where they make selecting defaults a big issue.
