Is there a way to reset Photoshop's file associations without having to reinstall? I had CS6 and CS5.5 installed side by side, and when I uninstalled CS5.5 it removed the file associations.

I tried searching around but everyone seems to have the opposite problem (wanting to remove Photosohp's file associations).

Oh, and just doing Open Width - Photoshop and setting that as default doesn't really work right. It displays the wrong icons (which really gets on my nerves).

Running Windows 8 RP (but the fix should be the same as in Windows 7).
