http://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/windows_file_association_manager.html

Resets any file association problems one at a time. The interface is black and gray and easy to use and understand. Click on any of the supported extension, and you will see a small green bar scroll at the bottom indicates that it's been fixed. There no confirmation before or after Windows File Association Manager runs. One thing we didn't like is that Windows File Association Manager came in RAR format, so it's a handy tool unless your RAR file association is the problem. Ironically, RAR isn't one of the fixes anyway; most likely because RAR isn't a Windows default association. Supported formats include AVI, BAT, BMP, COM. Directory, Drive, EXE, Folder, GIF, HTML, ICO, JPEG, JS, LNK, MP3, MPEG, MSC, PNG, REG, TXT, VBS, WMA, WMV, and XML.

http://www.rlvision.com/snap2html/about.php

Takes a "snapshot" of folder structures on your harddrive and saves as HTML files. What's unique about Snap2HTML is that the HTML file uses modern techniques to make it feel more like a "real" application, similar to Windows Explorer, displaying a treeview with folders that you can click to view the files contained within. There is also a built in file search. Still, everything is contained in a single HTML file that you can easily store or distribute.
